How do I replace a faulty hard drive?

Hi,

I have just aquired a dead Apple TV and I suspect that it is the hard drive which is at fault. I have a spare 2.5" IDE drive ready to go but I am not sure how to install the Apple TV os etc.

I have found threads on how to copy from a working drive onto a newer bigger drive but not from scratch so to speak.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance.......

I haven't tried this - but AtvCloner maybe a solution?

I have looked at that but that's great if you're replacing a working drive and cloning it to a drive with more capacity. I need to do this from scratch.

Thanks.
