I can't even restore to the original hdd. I followed this using terminal to the letter. it removed the files off the source hdd, and wouldn’t transfer anything to the new hdd.

Getting a noname usb-pata adapter solved all the problems below - the moral of the story being a proprietary external drive enclosure may only accept the drive it shipped with. Scratch all that.

My Mac Pro 10.6.6 will NOT recognize the original ATV 160GB hard drive - I did a fresh factory restore, upgraded the ATV to the latest firmware, and I still get "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer| error - no partitions mount as a consequence. diskutil list shows the device, shows the size, but does NOT list any partitions: " /dev/disk5 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: *160.0 GB disk5 " No method therefore works as there are no partitions to copy - dd'ing the contents seems to be doing something but as I understand I won;t be able to resize partition 4 if no partitions are visible. In any case, the quick count=1335 method didn't work resulting in an unbootable appletv. The PATA-USB enclosure certainly works as I am able to format and use the new 320GB WD in it. Please help.

diskutil list shows the device, shows the size, but does NOT list any partitions:

There is an excellent and very compact adapter sold on eBay that does just this. The source is China, so shipping takes a while, but I have put a 750GB SATA drive into an Apple TV, got it working with XBMC and the Crystal HD decoder and verified in iTunes that all of the extra hd space was available for storage. I see no reason (other than extra heat, possibly) that a 1GB Western Digital hard drive could also be installed in an Apple TV. I've done it, I know it is possible.
