DVRUpgrade also sells a setup CD that will let you prepare a new blank drive for replacement. It wouldn't bring along the season passes or other records. No tools will do that. But it'll at least let you jumpstart the existing unit. You can buy a drive from them already setup for the purpose. I've used their CDs several times over the years. Easy, quick and only requires swapping drives into a PC. So if you're handy with swapping hard disc drives out, and can find a good deal on a drive, their "InstantCake" CD may be just the ticket.
