Is it possible to use Toshiba MK2431GAH on Gigabeat S?
isanggon:
I use gigabeat s30 and it work perfectly with mk8025gal(80gb, 512byte/sector).
Now I need more space and found Mk2431gah(240gb, 4096byte/sector).
Is it possible to use Toshiba MK2431GAH on Gigabeat S(I'll buy back panel of s60)?

I've got an S and one of those hard drives, and tried briefly to get it to work without success. I haven't revisited it since.
isanggon:
Thank you. It's so sad news :-\

Update! Thanks to gevaerts, amiconn, and some other helpful people in IRC, it was revealed that the "file not found" problem was just me being stupid. It was fixed by either booting up the OF once, or formatting the storage partition.
So currently, I can have Rockbox and the OF working happily with a ~127GB storage partition (not at the same time, because for some reason Rockbox doesn't work from a dual-boot nk.bin, so I have to swap between a single-boot Rockbox nk.bin and an OF nk.bin).
If I expand the storage partition to take up the rest of the disk, the OF loader (before Rockbox runs) occasionally (sometimes it just boots straight into Rockbox) gets upset and shows an error #3 dialog, then error #1, forcing me to run sendfirm again to restore the Gigabeat to working order.
So now, so that I can make use of the rest of the disk, I am attempting to create a third partition and use Rockbox with HAVE_MULTIVOLUME, in the hope that the OF loader will not do the "error #3, error #1" thing. You can follow this latest development in IRC in stunning real-time 3D!

so if you just wanted rockbox and didnt care about the OF could you use the whole disk on rockbox? i could care less about OF
