HD problems with Archos Jukebox Recorder 10 (V1)

<< < (2/2)

rekibor:
I bought a new 80GB harddrive and still experiencing the same probelms: it is not possible to formate the disk within the Archos. Moreover the option to formate as FAT32 is missing. I only got the options to formate as exFAT and NTFS.

evilnick:
Try using Swiss Knife http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-411-swissknife to repartition/reformat the drive.

rekibor:
Thanks for the reply. Swissknife crashes when I select the drive (within Archos, connect via USB, WinXP). With Win7 it does not work at all.

rekibor:
I tried two other partition solutions and nothing works. I think the Archos seems to have any kind of problem to read the HD in a proper way. Is there any way to test that or to repair that?

Eidt:
I tried formating the new disk within my PC and was succesfull using SwissKnife without problems. Its a 80 GB and is seen correctly within the PC. However when connected with the Archos via USB with the PC I only see 66 GB. Reminder: With the old 10GB HD I also saw less GB (1.36 instead of 10). I think there is a problem within the Archos seeing/scanning the HD. What do the experts think?
