Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 21:53:39 -0800 (PST) Hello. I just tried upgrading the 20GB Hitachi hard drive in my Recorder to a 60 GB Toshiba, model number MK6021GAS. The problem is, with the Toshiba drive installed, the Archos doesn't boot. It gets 3 bars on the boot progress indicator, then bails with: HD register error SC1 (85) 211 SN1 (170) 0 SC2 (170) 211 SN2 (85) 195 ROM version 1.26 Does this make sense to anyone? Do I have a defective drive? When I swap my original Hitachi drive back into the Archos, it works fine. This is 100% reproducible. I pre-partitioned the Toshiba drive in my desktop computer, so I'm sure the new drive works and has no bad blocks. One thing I noticed: the Toshiba says "60 GB, 5V 0.7A" on the outside, whereas the original Hitachi says "20 GB, 5V 0.5A". I wouldn't think that 200mA would cause the Recorder strain, but that's the only difference I can find. Well, it seems like the Toshiba takes a long time to spin up. Maybe the Archos has a quick timeout? Should this drive work with the Archos? Maybe I should upgrade to the 60 GB Hitachi DK23EA? I'd love to know that that HD register error is trying to tell me. Thanks very much, - Scott Received on 2003-01-29 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
