I'm asking because i have broken zen that isn't switching on when hdd is plugged in. I see only creative logo then black screen and reset. I have 1,8"->usb adapter so if somebody could help me i will be pleased.

That's correct, you can read and write to it; but the problem is: if you can't get past the Creative load screen there's no easy way to get code on it so you can't access flash memory.
The not so easy way is to attach JTAG to the device or (even harder) to extract the flash memory chip from it and make a flash reader/writer for it.

actually I just found out how to run my Zen with hdd working and rockbox bootloader and so. It this help? What is JTAG? It's some hardware to read flash memory or just software?

Is there a website, where progress (what is currently working, and what is not) of getting rockbox working on ZV:M is tracked?
The port page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CreativeZVMPort is too cryptic, and informations are hard to find...could anyone create and update such informations somewhere(eg. at rockbox epizenter forum)?

No. Information about a port effort for Rockbox should stay on the Rockbox site. I for one am not about to go looking at other random sites. If you want to do that, that is of course up to you.
As for progress, this thread contains it, but it is for development only. Please do not post to ask about progress. When there is some, it will be posted here.
Transience:
Would it be possible to format the ZVM's HDD in windows xp with 010Editor, since 010 treats the ZVM like a removable disk in xp? I'm not 100% certain, but I think that 010 can read the entire disk (both partitions) as raw hex. If this is the case, how would I go about formatting the drive?
