You didn't.

The TiVo HD has the external eSATA port, of course, for a second
drive.  No one is selling brackets to internally mount a second drive
in the TiVo HD, but the space is in there if someone wanted to make
their own bracket.  There are even mounting points for it, I found
them when I did my review.

But the prefered way to expand TiVos now is to replace the A drive and
not to add a B drive, at least for capacities up to 1TB.  It is much
easier to just swap out the drive than to mess with marrying drives,
mounting two drives, etc.

The exception being the external eSATA drive for the S3 & TiVo HD of
course, that's just plug-and-play with no real work needed.  But if
you have expanded the internal drive, the A drive, you lose the
ability to add an eSATA B drive without manually reimaging both and
marrying them.
