Third Party > Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players
Huge troubleshooting with my iRiver H340
sckofelng:
Hey guys, I am new in this forum, hope I got the section right.
So the 40 GB HDD of my H340 broke and I bought a new 60 GB one (MK6006GAH) and when I wanna put it in, I get the ATA -32 error and can't even access to the HDD on my computer.
Is there anyone here who could help me out? I start to get frustrated because I was already able to access it on my PC when I let Rockbox from the (now broken) HDD run swapped HDDs. I tried to get Rockbox installed but the bootloader (which seems to be in a so called reserved flash memory from the iRiver) stops it all.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Can you still fire up the original firmware?
Has the new drive been formatted to FAT32?

The HDD is formatted to FAT32.
Right now I can't do anything :(
michaelbowe:
So when you power off and then power up does the iRiver go through the same sequence and stop with the ATA -32 error? Or is the player just dead? If you power up while pressing the record button (upper RHS button) does it boot into the original firmware? Try removing the drive and see if you can boot into the OFM (should come up ATA -1).
If none of that is happening then you may have a bricked player.
If you can't get communication with the drive with your PC, look at getting a 1.8" IDE to USB connector like the one pictured. Cost is $4 plus postage. At least with this you can test if your HD is working and you will be able to get control over the files on the drive.
I don't understand what you mean when you say "... when I let Rockbox from the (now broken) HDD run swapped HDDs". Can you tell us, step by step, what you did and what went wrong.

I'd double-check all connections. If nothing at all sees the drive, I'd expect hardware issues.
