About H10 20G
 i bought a 60G , formatted it in FAT32 using a zif to 3.5'' adapter but still no luck :*(( http://paste.ubuntu.com/977797/ )

tsester:
the zif cable was cut. i added a new one and the 60G plays :)

Just upgraded an h10 I bought at a thrift store.... used a Samsung Spinpoint N2 120 GB,Internal,4200 RPM,1.8" (HS122JB) worked like a charm.  Just backed up all the files that were on the original 20gb drive, then connected the new drive to the h10's ribbon cable and the 120 showed up as an unformatted 111gb drive under the windows xp disk management tool.  used guiformat <url http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm /url> to format the drive to FAT32, sector size of 4096, 111gb available after running a quick format using the guiformat tool.  after formatting I copied the backed up folders and files onto the new drive, the disconnected the h10 from my pc (used eject menu command then used the safely remove hardware to in the systray.  total cost: $83.00 ($31.00 for the h10, $8.00 for a pair of h10 sync cables, and $44.00 for the Samsung HS122JB) I thought about doing a SSD conversion using a CF card etc. etc.  But it added up almost $80.00 just for the components, and I would only have 64gb when I wuz done.  The ZIF connector on the Samsung was very tight, so I just carefully inserted the ribbon cable and did not try to seat the ZIF clamp.   The upgraded h10 booted up into rockbox no problem!! 8)

Sorry for revive  this old old topic, but I have 2 iriver H10 20gb (one  in great condition, one bad). I was investigating about the disk upgrade and I do not know if adding a zif to msata converter will work on the h10, considering that a msata drive costs 30 bucks (64 gb), and the converter 9 dollars. I think msata will be more reliable than hdd solutions, and faster than CF solution.

Here some picks:




What do you think?

Ejecutor Hanzo:
Well, good and bad news.

Good news: The mod works perfectly
Bad news: Rockbox shows error -11 all the time even if the original firmware works, so I can't use rockbox anymore if I want to use my zif/msata converter.

I am really really sad for that.

If anyone can help me to resolve this issue will be great.


Thanks!
