I know of at least one other person with the EXACT hardware that I do (Toshiba 60Gb drive on a Recorder 20) who didn't have to solder the jumper. It's weird. Running engineering change maybe?? Incidentally, I didn't have a Win98 machine around, so I formatted and partitioned the drive in Linux. Works great. This is using the 2.5" IDE adapter, but I imagine it would work similarly over USB... # cfdisk /dev/hdc partition: type=0x0C, bootable # mkfs.vfat -c -F 32 /dev/hdc1 (omit -c if you don't want to perform the lengthly bad blocks check) # mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/archos then copy copy copy...
