Help With Tivo Bolt Hard Drive Upgrade

OK, figured it out but if you want to see how dumb I am you can read the thread.

Hi, I'm a newbie at Tivo so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I bought a 500gb Tivo bolt and wanted to upgrade the HD. I heard about complications and issues using a 4TB HD so I opted for at 2TB (Seagate ST20000LM003). I opened up the case, removed the original 500gb HD and put in the Seagate. I plugged in the Bolt, the Tivo opening screen came up and then nothing. My TV said there was no signal and it just sat there. I left it for half an hour and nothing happened.

A bit worried, I unplugged the Seagate and put back the original HD. The Tivo booted up and then it said "just a few more minutes." But then, it also went black with a no signal message.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong or what happened. Guides on the internet seem to make it very simple with plug and play. Concerned I tried to download MFS reformatter I thought this would work since it worked for 4TB drives. When I choose to reformat Tivo drive i get the error "This drive would have 1 media regions, which isn't supported at this time."

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
