Thank you so much Sir.

And note that the iRiver original firmware WILL NOT recognize flash memory.  Hence you must format the flash memory to FAT32 before installing it into the iRiver device.  You also must flash the bootloader to the iRiver original firmware from the hard drive before installing the flash memory.

Best of luck with your project!

>>If you use 50 pin PATA (CF) SSD, you do not need any adapter.

So this drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PFPVOS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

can be installed without any adapter, just slide it on in place of the existing HD?

Thanks in advance,

Robe

bpfiguer:
Yes, it will work.

I just got done upgrading my iHP-120 from a Toshiba MK8025GAL 80 GB drive to the Corsair M500 480 GB mentioned in this post.  This is my third drive upgrade on this player.  The first was from the factory 20 GB to a 30 GB to get a little extra space, then from the 30 GB to the 80 GB when the 30 failed (I dropped the player while it was drive seeking).  I was significantly out of space with the 80 GB, hence the current upgrade.

I already had the ZIF to IDE adapter mentioned in this post and the mSATA SSD to ZIF adapter from this eBay seller.  I updated the bootloader to 7pre4 before doing the drive swap, got the player started in USB mode, formatted the drive as NTFS using Windows Drive Management then reformatted the drive at FAT32.  I also installed the newest Rockbox build using Rockbox Utility.

I'm currently copying over ~400 GB of data using FreeFileSync.
