iRiver H120 CF Mod Attempt - Success!

--- Code: ---I'm running a Gigabeat F20 with the latest bootloader (21st April 2007) and whenever I use the bootloader USB mode (device off; plug in USB; power up device) I find it does not restart correctly.
Using either WinXP or Win2k, I do the 'Safely Disconnect' operation, which causes no change on the Gigabeat screen (but I don't know whether it should) and then when I unplug I just get blank screen with the backlight permanently on and no buttons functioning. It requires a battery switch-off to reset it.
--- End code ---
Not quite. First of all I enter the usb disk mode (not the bootloader mode) by plugging in the usb cable AFTER the gigabeat is up and running. By the time I go to unplug the usb cable my backlight has timed out, but it does come back on if I press any button, however the usb icon remains on the screen. If I hold the power button long enough the player does shut off, but then it won't power back on unless I toggle the battery switch.

I assume you're talking about the A-Data 'speedy' card (orange color). Is the slowness a problem? I have an adapter here but still looking to buy a good CF card.

The card I bought is not available now on the newegg. However, given the speed, I would say that 40x could be too optimistic ;D for it...
The speed is not a big issue, though. The only thing I might think is some problems with playing loseless ape files. I had never tried this format when my hdd was alive, so I don't know whether this is the issue with reading speed or cpu speed or something else.

I'd say this is unrelated unless you mean the playback problem is the music skipping from time to time

It is not exactly skipping problem, but rather pauses during playback and pretty high CF reading activity (red diode turns on pretty frequently).
On the other hand, given pretty small size (only 8Gb in my case) usage of lossless formats is not that optimal...
petur:
right, that would probably be caused by a slow card.....
