Search the net for image vu+duo clone
This should get you started look at rear of box for hints then you could check board inside
You could maybe upload a few pics we would be able to help further
What image does it have on just now if image is old it may need latest bootloader installed hth

The pictures are not of a Duo as there is only 1 tuner and no hard drive mount

the same applies to most vu box's the pictures are of the solo but the duo is the same with the screws and logo on the back panel.
a certain way is left image clone solo right image duo clone.
but please check yourself as there are loads of images on the net above is a guide only but worked for me.
