Zune
zivan56:
Is anybody interested in the hard drive contents? I could perhaps find the right ZIF ATA adapter and post it. Perhaps someone could then find an exploit of sorts and I could write it to the disk to test it. I also found a bunch of datasheets for this player, but they all say "confidential" (like the FM tuner for example), yet they are available of many sites.
LambdaCalculus:
Although not strictly related, the contents of a Gigabeat S hard drive were read by dropping the drive into an iPod video and using the iPod's emergency disk mode to read the contents. This was mentioned on the Gigabeat S wiki page.
If you can get a cheap iPod video, you can read the drive that way. Seeing the contents of a Zune 30 (as the old Zunes are called now) would be useful, but it's going to be the encryption on the firmware that we have to worry about.
Chronon:
You can also get USB enclosures for 1.8" ZIF drives for pretty cheap at online auction sites these days.

Ok, I got a ZIF to IDE adapter and could not get it to show up on 2 different computers. I could hear/feel the disk spin up and down, but it was not identified in the BIOS of either computer. I guess I will order a USB one just in case.
bipton:
It may be like the xbox drives.... they are locked, you read them by booting the xbox and hotswapping the cable from the box to your pc. This may be possible to do IF you can supply voltage to the drive by another means than the zune itself, so you had room to remove the cable after it is unlocked and plug it into whatever interface your trying to use to access it.
