Premiere HD replacement questions

Hi folks,

I have searched the forums some, but have some questions to which I don't see recent answers.

My TCD746320 Premiere was dead when I got back from vacation in July, and I revived it when I replaced the power supply. Sadly, it's dead again with a GSOD reboot loop, so I am assuming I will be putting a new drive in it. I assume I will be making friends with my new friends DvrBARS, MFS Tools and jmfs (many thanks to the authors!). I am pretty fearless, have the right Torx, a USB-to-SATA adapter, etc. I'm glad the power supply should not be a concern.

I use Tivo Desktop pretty heavily, so there isn't much lost except Svengoolie showing the original STTOS pilot, "The Cage", which I didn't pull over. The saved preferences are the biggest loss. Not earth shattering.

First, what should I look at when choosing a drive? Is there a list of good choices anywhere? I expect to get a 1Tb or 2Tb drive. I think I even have a spare 1Tb on hand.

Second, what are the odds I can pull off Onepasses and such from the old drive? I haven't connected it to see how pooched it is, and I guess I might see what Spinrite thinks of it.

Third, where can I get an image for my TCD746320?

Fourth, with the above-named tools, what would be the best path to get back on the air?

Thanks,
Rob T
