Yes, I unzipped the firmware file and placed the .hex on my HDD. I didn't remove the old one because there isn't an old one. Prior to placing the new .hex file in the root, there was no original .hex file.

After I posted this, I started trying to use a rockbox patched firmware and I was getting crc errors trying to copy over the .rockbox folder. I did some searches on that and found that really great thread that instructs how to repair the HDD. I ran chkdsk with the repair options on it all last night and finished this morning. Afterwards, I'm able to copy files over with no problems at all. I copied the patched rockbox firmware over and tried to upgrade to that, but it does the same thing. Goes through all the same motions as if it is actually upgrading, and then turns off, (the battery is full and the ac adapter is plugged in). I turn it back on and I'm still sitting at 1.02 US firmware. I can NOT get off of this version. Is there some sort of pre-requisite or setting that must be changed prior to upgrading the firmware? Mine seems sort of un-upgradable... like read-only.

Thanks for the response... this is driving me crazy.
