First off, you're typing in caps dude. Secondly it is "eye ess DEE"
(that's the FOURTH letter of the alphabet - please slap your screen reader

...changing the software/driver you install for windows will not magically
replace the silicon chip hidden inside your archos.

(does the "magically" sound patronising, or just highlight my slightly
warped sense of humour?)
