Multiplex:
Why not use the FOrmat in the iRiver firmware ?

Sorry - I only have H120 and H320 so may be asking a stupid question (again)

And I thought I'd thouroughly read every one of the previous posts... Sorry

And even more embarassingly, at work it's usually me doing to other folks what you just (rightly) did to me :-(

Mikerman:
I just ran SwissKnife v3 last evening to format a 60gb drive on an iHP-140, without  any problem--and so SwissKnife would not seem to be the problem.

nalrod:
I may indeed retry swissknife. but where i'm at now is that there is some damage to the harddrive. I used Windows Disk Manager to format the h140 to two different partitions one is 32gig and the other 7gig, i can now at least access the drive again. But the iriver only sees the main partition. so that 7gig partition doesn't show up. Anything I put in there is just for storage I presume. I've run chkdsk on the main partition and here's a little taste of what i'm getting back...

C:\>Chkdsk E:\ /F /V /R /X
The type of the file system is FAT32.

 ...and it goes on like that.  ??? The windows disk manager diagnoses the drive as 'healthy' and I can copy data to it, but it's obviously got some problems. Maybe i can run swiss knife to get the partitions merged, or maybe i'm just back to where i was (with a 32gig drive). But the original purpose for all of this was because when i first installed Rockbox, the Database initialization hadn't stopped in over 3 hours... so i figured something was up with the drive setting/configuration. Any insight would be most helpful. Until then i'm gonna fumble around in the dark somemore.   -n
