Apple TV upgrade disk: a couple of tips adventurers

That ended my next adventure, this time associated with the upgrade Apple TV. I knew it would be so much hassle - not a fact that would take. And it all began with that of notebook IDE hard drive to get the right products and the volume turned out to be quite difficult. However, bezrybe WD pass for hdd.

A few tips to fans of extreme sports ...

Be sure to get the right screwdriver or set of bits. To parse "yabloyaschika" need a couple of bits TORX 8 and 10 plus box / adapter (for connecting to the host machine), and of instruction (Youtube / Google to help!). On the gourmet sites (hint: see the wiki Awkward TV) full of tips on preparing the drive, but without basic skills to work with the console to climb inside the Apple TV, I would not recommend it.

Activities such as the creation of records with the partition table - apparently not destiny "kulhatskerov". One of the easiest is probably option is to clone the old drive (there poudalyat music, movies, will be faster) section Media and recreation thereof, followed by a slew, but with great size. In other cases, the great chance to stay with a working boot loader, but the broken OS without the possibility of rolling back to the Factory Restore. With cloning option is fraught with the fact that the process of creating an image and its subsequent filling will be quite a long time. On the other hand, in this case excludes a large part messing with the command line.

If you in the form FR is Apple TV OS 1, the probability of such events increases (you can try feint ears). Also be careful with the power connector: it is fixed including the top cover (which is removed when you upgrade), try not to roll it.

Total at a total cost of junior Apple TV + disk + bit set + adapter get Apple TV with the real volume 290 with a small gig.
