Issue expanding my TiVo HD drive

In June, I had a TiVo HD with a drive that went south on me, so I used a backup .tbk I saved and put it on a 1.5tb hard drive I had. I used MFSLive, copied the 500mb image, put it in the TiVo and called it a day. Soon after, I noticed it was only using a small portion of storage and giving me only 21 HD recording hours. I procrastinated in fixing it.



Well, procrastination time is over and I took that thing out to see if I could expand it somehow. I tried WinMFS and it didn't see the drive at all (and no, I didn't initialize the disk in Windows 8.1). I made a USB boot of MFSLive and I could see the drive but after reading the forums there I couldn't really figure out what to do to expand it.



Then, I thought maybe the 1.5tb is causing issues, so I put in a 1tb hard drive in Windows 8.1 (uninitialized), fired up WinMFS, and it didn't see that drive either. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening, so hopefully someone has some suggestions. I'm willing to switch to the 1tb drive if the 1.2tb barrier will give me issues expanding the 1.5tb drive. I'm not overly concerned with keeping the existing few recordings.



My motherboard is an ASUS P8Z68V-Pro motherboard and I was plugging into an internal SATA port.



I have to plug this back in to record tonight's shows but I'm all ears.
