72. Sometimes my friend is showing off with his Archos Jukebox 6000
containing a 60 GB hard disk instead of the original one with 6 GB. How
can I upgrade my Archos Jukebox or Archos Jukebox Recorder to a larger
hard disk as well?

Simply, follow the instructions at http://www.mctubster.com/hd.html


73. Great! But my desktop computer is up-to-date, I don't use Win98/ME any
more, I updated to Windows 2000 or Windows XP. When I try to format the
newly created FAT32 partition, Windows refuses to format and tells me it
only supports 32GB. What can I do to format a drive larger than this as
only one partition?

Since the Jukebox is portable, you can try to find someone with a Win98/ME
or Linux installation and ask him/her to help you out with formatting.

An other option is to use third-party tools for formatting of FAT32
partitions larger than 32GB. As an example the 'Paragon Partition Manager'
(http://www.partition-manager.com/) has the ability to do everything with
FAT32 partitions you need for this (and much more). Paragon offers a free
demo version (with some reduced functionality but enough for our purposes)
you can download and use.



Is this OK as FAQ entries?
