You will now need to remove both of the cables
connected to the hard drive by following the instructions
below:
The hard drive has a power connector running into the
hard drive. The power cable has a white connector
plugged into the hard drive. Remove the power
connector from the hard drive. The power cables are
sometimes difficult to remove; patience and wiggling it
back and forth usually does the trick.
Remove the hard drive ribbon cable (longer, gray cable
with a blue or black connector) from the hard drive by
pulling on the hard plastic piece connected to the hard
drive.

REMOVING THE EXISTING DRIVE
Before removing the factory drive, take note of its position on the
drive bay. Your new drive will be installed in the identical
location and position.
With the hard drive bay upside-down on the TiVo lid, use your
Torx T15 L-key to remove the four screws connecting the hard
drive to the hard drive bay. Set these screws aside, and do not
confuse them with the four screws you removed from the back of
the TiVo before removing the lid. Remove the hard drive and set
it aside for safe keeping.

CONNECTING THE NEW HARD DRIVE TO THE DRIVE BAY
Align the new hard drive included in your kit on the drive bay, in
the
same position
as the drive that you removed. Using the drive
screws you removed from the factory drive, attach the drive to
the bracket by following the instructions below:
We have found that the easiest way to attach the drive to the
bracket is to turn the bracket upside down. Using one hand, hold
the drive against the bottom of the bracket and look through the
holes in the drive bay to align the screw holes. Using your hands,
screw the screws into each of the four holes. Use your Torx T15
L-key to tighten the screws. NOTE: Do NOT change the jumper
on your upgrade drive. It is set correctly.
