I am interested in upgrading the hard drive in my HDTivo, but it requires 2 USB to SATA cables. Does anyone in Columbus have some that I could borrow? I also need a size T10 and T15 Torx screwdriver.

Thanks,
Kevin

I would check MonoPrice.com or Amazon for the cable. Lowe's sells a neat Torx tool that looks like this:

If you are following the directions from http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=370784, you can get by with one USB > SATA cable (which is what I did when I upgraded mine with a 1GB HDD), or, you can use the internal SATA connections on your computer.
