H10 with a 30 gig drive? What?
You say its not possible? Oh, it is - mostly. I had to fight it a bit....but I'm getting there.
Some 13 months ago, my H10 had a hard drive failure, and was rendered unusable. So i went out an bought a Creative Zen vision:m (becuase i could get a really good deal on it), and just went on missing my H10. Flash to now, my Creative has a mainboard issue (I think). So i decided....surgery time - it can't hurt anything more. So i squeeze the slightly larger 30 gig drive from my Creative into the h10, and get everything working great. I had the real Iriver firmware installed, and was trying out Rockbox. I went to get on the train this morning (the surgery and such was last night), and Rockbox is reporting errors. I reboot - "System Files Missing". Darn, so i bring out the laptop, and go to fix the file errors. As of this posting, I am totally fighting my laptop and H10 to get it to recognize long enough to replace the firmware. I read through the "Device Enumeration Problems" thread, and it helped a little bit, but I have a pretty unique situation. It NOW, after much struggle, recognizes the H10, and it as a Generic Drive, but if I try and use explorer to explore it, it shoots me down - lame. I'll try upgrading firmware and get back to you all. ~Jon

I should have followed up last night.
I realized that the ZIF cable to the drive wasn't properly seated, which was an easy fix (easier then finding the T5 torx, becuase i left mine at home). So, moral of the story: It works just fine in Rockbox and Iriver firmware.

How to would be good. A bit scary, but after two years of error free working my iriver seems to need a hard reset/reformat and rebuild every couple of months now, so the HD may be on the way out. Don't want an Ipod and no other decent high capacity players around so maybe a DIY upgrade is the way to go.
