Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
Later today, I'm going to try to make another call, the adapter I'm getting was from ebay, but its the wrong kind, it was 1.8" to 3.5" IDE (~$5 USD), where as now after I opened up the zen, it is a ZIF connection, those adapters (ZIF to 2.5" IDE) appear to be ~$40 USDSo...if you do have an IDE connecting hard drive, I could mail you my converter for a reasonable price.
How similiar is the firmware of the Zen Vision: M to the NJB3 series - looking at the recovery mode menu of both (Zen Xtra (MTP) and Vision:M) are the same. I suspect that the vision m uses a more updated/configurable firmware. More infoe about the NJB3 series is can be found on the wiki http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CreativeZenTouch (Click on the NJB3 firmware)
Sorry about that. Here's the rapidshare linkhttp://rapidshare.com/files/37954246/FULLfirmwareupgrade.txt.html
Sorry guys, but i didn't read through the whole thread. I'll delete this post if it's superfluous.did anyone want a readout of the DeviceInfo.xml file?

Here's the rapidshare linkhttp://rapidshare.com/files/37954246/FULLfirmwareupgrade.txt.htmlHi,the beginning of the file is clipped off, do you still have that or did you delete it ? Cause it is kinda important and I wanna try to make a proggie that imitates the WPD requests
That's the only copy I have of the firmware upgrade readout, but I can do another one if you like.
Well I finally managed to fail a firmware upgrade. It wasn't nearly as devastating as you would think. Interesting enough, after failing the firmware upgrade, it would no longer allow an official upgrade. It would always fail and never give a reason or an error of any sort.Another interesting point, if you go through the reload firmware process. If you go through windows explorer, it reads the player as a 50mb device with 50mb free. I found this kind of odd.
PS sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you, I've been having eye problems keeping me from using the computer.
