iRiver H140/H320 - HDD-swap (PATA-CE/ZIF-mSATA and PATA-CF-mSD) not working
Talleyrand:
i would clear my player and go from 3.15 (Bootloader 8) stable the route to install the 7pre4 again. Definitely worked for me....

True that... I just tried and the good news is that I was able to "downgrade" to stable 3.15 and to flash the bootloader 7pre4 as well as the rockbox.iriver- and rombox.iriver-files.
I got the `Success`-messages and was able to select the default boot option (disk, RAM, ROM or shutdown) and also boot into rockbox.
But unfortunately, I wasn't able to utilize my SD-card or the SSD-drive (getting a "No partition found. Insert USB cable and fix it."-message).
Any other ideas? How can I try this with the nightly/new version?
Talleyrand:
You removed the little plastic knob on the CF/IDE adapter to fit in the iriver HDD stack?
The CF/IDE adapter needs to use the same pins as the OEM HDD.
Flashed to FAT32?
I wouldn´t flash anything, this combination (3.15 BTLD 7pre4) worked on 4 players of mine with SD cards + adapters.....

So it seems u figured it out?

I assume you mean the "Jumper" on top of the adapter? I didn't try to remove it (since I assume that with the SD-card being the only drive it needs to be specified as "master".
But I just retried without the jumper and it doesn't work.

That is the case.

Yes, I did the following:
- the disk label was `MSDOS` (using the `mklabel` command within `parted`).
- there was only a single `primary partition` containing all the space (from `0%` to `100%`; using the `mkpart` command within `parted`).
- the partition was created using the `fat32`-file system (using the command `sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n DEVICENAME /dev/DEVICELOCATION`).

To be honest: no, not really. I tried with 2 different SD-cards as well as with the adapter mSATA-SSD but I got no success. And since I don't have any idea what else I could do I'm kind-of lost.
