The perpendicular recording is just the lowest level and it does not affect the ATA protocol nor the way how the logical data is organized on the disk.

I would try:
- checking whether there is only one primary partition and that it is the first one in the partition table
- format the disk using the format utility in the original firmware
- partition and format the disk using some approved tool like SwissKnife
- formating a smaller partition (like 20 GB)

And what about file system. Do you install any? And have you tried to format you drive from original firmware mode?

FAT32 using Paragon Partition Manager, and no I haven't tried to format the drive using the old iRiver firmware.

The drive already had a small partition on it, so I removed that, then just created one big partition and formatted it as FAT32.

Rockbox reports the disk size as 74.4GB.

You might check that there isn't already some small partition already on the drive - if there is, delete it and reformat.

Are you using any custome builds of Rockbox or just the standard CVS?  Maybe try updating to the latest version and see if that helps?
