I succeeded, after a lot of glitches, in installing a toshiba mk2431gah 240gb on my iRiver H-140
rockbox now starts, recognizes the drive and starts playing a music file --
lossless .ape in this case
I have played ape files before on an 80 gig drive w/o problems; now the player is reading the hd every few seconds and pauses every other second as it does so
haven't seen anything about this problem in researching this and as it doesn't seem to be a common problem have no idea why, other than the size of the drive, it would do this
but as others have had no problems using the 240 gig drive I don't have a clue as to the cause or the solution
can't get onto a computer all the time, but any suggestions appreciated
and of course I have flashed the 7pre4, etc. etc otherwise I don't imagine it would be working at all

further testing. ogg vorbis files play okay and flac, so it must be a combination of the drive and the degree of compression, I'm guessing
any way around that?
I would rather not have to recode thousands of .ape files into .flac
