This is only an issue on the Archos players. Other devices don't have this problem.
zcream:
OK. Would the procedure and bootloader be the same for the H320 ? If the only difference between the 320 and 340 is the HDD, I might as well get the H320 as I am going to swap the drive.
torne:
The H300 series is all the same apart from the stock drive capacity, yes.
pixelma:
And thickness, if I remember correctly. The H340 was made for a 40GB dual platter disk which is thicker than the 20GB single platter disk in an H320 which then also has a thinner case. I'm not a 100% sure but it's probably worth it to investigate a bit more if the replacement drive will fit physically (and maybe someone else can tell exactly).
peteswensson:
The iriver H320 and H340 are identical electronically. Pixelma is correct about the physical differences: the thickness of the hard drive (5mm vs 8mm), the profile of the blue foam rubber cradling the hard drive (H340 is deeper, to accommodate the thicker hard drive), and the depth of the back cover (likewise). The H340 is much less common than the H320, so it can be hard to find the model that accommodates the thicker hard drive. The 1.8" Toshiba drives that end in L are 5mm thick, while those that end in H are 8mm thick.
Also, Torne said that the H300 will flash a modified hex file when you disconnect. This is not correct for the iriver. You must use the routine to update the firmware that is in the original firmware. Press <Record> and <On> simultaneously to enter the original firmware. Press and continue to hold the <Navi> button in the playback standby screen or the radio screen until the Menu screen opens. The menu system has 7 main options and submenus for each option. Scroll to <General> and press <Navi>. Scroll to <Firmware Upgrade> and press <Navi>. Follow directions on the display from that point. Be sure to have your iriver plugged into your recharger so that it doesn't run out of battery power while in the midst of flashing the firmware.
