Notes:
1. For s pick N (for device /dev/diskN)
2. For t pick N (for device /dev/diskN)
3. For p answer "n" to the question:
** Do you want to try to preserve the shows on the MPEG partition?
** Answer 'yes' here ONLY IF you copied the whole MPEG partition!!!
** The safe answer is 'no'
(y/n)?
Step 4 *** eject source:
diskutil eject diskN
Turn off the power, the disk is ready to be installed in the replaytv

And from miscrms:
I was a little intimidated by the descriptions, but had no problem upgrading from a 40GB to 160GB disk using an emac on 10.3.9
with two firewire enclosures.
If you have the ability to hook up both drives, the procedure seems to be simpler even than the one above (which is never the
less very handy and nicely written).
Here is what I ended up doing:
1. Download the 2.5.1 version of the rtvpatch for osx here
2. unzip and run RTVPatch in Terminal (cp to /usr/bin or just run from wherever you put it using "./RTVPatch". Run "chmod a+x
RTVPatch" if you get a permission denied error and ls -al RTVPatch is missing the "x"s on the permission list.
3. use "i" command to find the disk# of your old and new disks (for me 2 and 1)
4. use s and t to set source and target (for me s, 2, t, 1)
5. use "m" to copy the system partition
6. use "p" to patch
7. "x" to exit
8. "diskutil disk1 eject" and same for disk2 to make it safe to turn them off
• The network card appears dead, can it be replaced?
Only the 40XX and 45XX series ReplayTVs use a plug in, replaceable network interface card. A low profile, chip compatible NIC
can be used as a replacement: the Netgear FA331* is one such card. If you replace the NIC, you'll need to remove the metal
bracket from the new card, and make sure you insert it in the slot in the same direction as the original. Failure to orient it
correctly may damage not only the NIC, but also the motherboard. (*I mistakenly listed the FA311 previously as a compatible
replacement. The current FA311 is not a low profile NIC but does appear to be a chip compatible replacement for the OEM
NIC in a 4XXX ReplayTV. The Netgear FA331 is a low profile, chip compatible replacement. Here's one source for the FA331:
FA331 at Unity Electronics)
The original NIC can be tested in a Windows 2000/XP computer. Simply power down the computer, insert the NIC in an unused
PCI slot and power it up. Windows 2000/XP should find the network card and install drivers for it, unless the card is indeed
dead.
The network interface in the 5XXX series ReplayTVs is a chip on the motherboard and cannot be easily replaced. However, Mike
Menard at www.replaytvparts.com offers service on 50XX and 55XX motherboards, including repair or replacement of the
NIC.
Keep in mind that it's fairly rare for the NIC to fail in a ReplayTV. You need to rule out any other possibility before assuming
the network interface is dead.
