Corrupt Data on Tivo?

[bighead12_99]

I added a second HD about a year or more ago and I am having troubles 
extracting some of the tystreams. I have one 2 hour show that 
comprises 3 FSIDs. I can't seem to get the first of the 3 FSIDs 
extracted. My MPEG always starts 42 minutes into the show and is 
only 1hour-17min long, but on the TiVo, it's fine. So yes, I'm 
having troubles, but I don't know if it's a result of the second HD.  
I'm searching the internet for info on it, but not having much luck.
