Thanks Manuel, the only problem appears to be reformatting the drive.
I don't really want 2 partitions. I want the whole drive for music
and audio books, and therefore I want the archos to see the whole
drive.

I did it after taking an intro to electronics class and it seemed pretty simple
to me, but YMMV.

I used the Toshiba MK8025GAS (80GB, 4200 RPM). I followed the
instructions here:
http://www.mctubster.com/hd.html
Before I put the new HD into the Jukebox, I attached it to my computer
directly via a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE interface adapter. These adapters
always frighten me because they include power on the connector and if
you put them in backwards you can release the magic smoke from your
drive.
But it worked for me. While it was attached to the computer via IDE, I
used Partition Magic to add a partition and format it as FAT32. I then
copied all my data to the drive (quicker than USB2).
Getting the old drive out of the recorder and the new drive in was not
too bad. The most important advice I can give is to be patient
throughout the process - take your time and don't force anything. Also,
some of the metal edges are quite sharp. At one point I cut my finger
without even noticing it.
I also couldn't find "the hole you're not supposed to cover" on this
particular drive. I hope I didn't end up covering it.
When I put the whole thing together, the Archos wouldn't boot, because I
had made my 80GB partition into a logical partition, instead of a
single primary partition. However, Partition Magic was able to convert
the logical partition into a primary partition. It did this over USB
and without losing any data. Pretty cool.
After that, I had some problems with Rockbox. I had more than 400
directories in the root of my drive, and Rockbox didn't like this. When
I went into its settings, I found it was defaulting to a maximum of 0
files per directory, and when I changed this value, it didn't seem to
stick. But I reorganized my file hierarchy, reinstalled Rockbox,
changed the max files to 1000, and everything seems to work fine now.

B"H
Did you have to desolder in order to get to the hard drive for the
Version 1 Recorder like you have to for the Recorder Version 2? Are
the guts of the Recorder V1 the same as the guts for the Jukebox
Studio (not including the actual circuitry, of course)?

No, there was no soldering or desoldering involved, thank goodness!
It looked pretty similar to the pictures I've seen of Studio internals.
The only difference was that the buttons are made up of about five or
six loose pieces of plastic which you have to set in their correct
places when you put the cover back on.
