Is this feature mentioned in the fs-specs? regards roland ----- Original Message ----- From: "mourad jaber" <mjaber_at_centralpay.net> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 6:45 PM Subject: Re: Read only in USB mode [Feature Request] > Yes I give it an antivirus software but after all my executable files on > the archos hd were infected and after i clean them ! > That's why I was thinking about that.... > I think fat partition can be set as read only by updating bootsector of hd > > BlueChip wrote: > > > > >> I think about putting archo in read-only mode before plug it to usb, > >> I think is it possible to lock partition so it's may be a new feature > >> to prevent modifications on the archo hd... > >> I don't know if it is well explain... > >> > >> Mourad > > > > > > The JB USB/HDD interface is in a dedicated chip - the firmware/Rockbox > > can only enable and disable it - after that it is all in hardware :( > > > > You could patch the windows driver, but then you will need to install > > your new driver onto your friends machine before you connect your > > jukebox.
