How To Repair Hd Error On Archos Jukebox
this Article Home » Categories » Computers and Electronics » Hacks ArticleEditDiscuss Edit ArticleHow to Upgrade the Harddrive in Your Archos Jukebox Community Q&A If you have an old Archos Jukebox and want to add more storage or fix an 'HD Error', this wiki will walk you through the steps necessary to do so. Steps 1 Unplug the jukebox and remove the batteries. To do so, remove the battery covers on either side of the front panel. 2 Remove the 4 screws on either side of the jukebox. These screws need a size 10 torx bit (in a pinch, you can use a medium-size flat jewelers screwdriver). When you put it back together, you can use standard Phillips screws if you have some laying around to make future upgrades easier. 3 Use a small Phillips jewelers screwdriver to remove the 2 screws on the bottom of the jukebox on either side of the USB connector. Keep these separate and labeled "bottom"--I'll explain in a minute. 4 Remove the 2 screws on the top next to ear and line out. Keep these separate and labeled "top" because they are a different length than the bottom screws and if you mix them, you may damage the jukebox. 5 CAREFULLY remove the plastic bumpers. You are going to bend the metal, but don't worry, and don't try to straighten it yet. 6 After you remove the bumpers, remove the metal plate on the back side of the jukebox. 7 You are now looking at the hard drive. *CAREFULLY* grip the bottom of the drive and lever it up just high enough to clear the case. 8Pull the drive lightly to unplug it. 9Insert your new drive in a similar fashion. 10 Test jukebox before continuing to be sure it still works. 11Replace the metal cover on the back of the jukebox. 12 *CAREFULLY* Reinsert the bumpers. I found it easiest to put the 'fins' (for lack of a better word) on the back side in first, then-carefully-bend the metal around the sides of the bumpers. 13 Replace the screws that hold the drive in then replace the screws that hold the metal cover on. You did label your screws, right? For those who did not, long screws go on the bottom and short screws go on top. 14Put the batteries in, cross your fingers, and boot it up. 15If all went well, you should have a higher capacity mp3 player.

when I try to start up (not plugged in), itdoesn't do anything at all. When I plug it in, I hear a high-pitchedwhirring noise. When it's plugged in, I can hold down "On" and itwill eventually show "Jukebox Ver : 5.08" but won't go any further.It just sits there making intermittent whirring soundsHas anyone had similar experiences? Is the HD dead? I have a badfeeling that's what it is, but I'm hoping for something else. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!Plug in the USB connection and see if you can get Windows to recognizeit. If you're running WinXP, open a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd)and type:chkdsk X: /F /X /RX is whatever drive letter the Jukebox gets in Windows.This will (hopefully) run the disk checker on the Archos drive, and tryto recover data if any sectors are bad.Also, try downloading a fresh firmware file and follow installationinstructions from the Archos site. Maybe just the firmware wascorrupted. But chances are, since it's making nasty noises, the drivecould be on its way to oblivion. If the disk check does find bad sectorsand is able to make repairs, i highly suggest getting your files off itand taking it in for service. If you can't get a good disk scan, you'reprobably SOL.i have the 20GB Juke-Recorder. No major problems yet, but i suspectthese aren't designed for long-term usage. Which sucks for how much theycost.Good luck.joe t. bluecalx 2003-07-29 21:03:15 UTC PermalinkRaw Message Post by Joe T.Post by bluecalxI was charging my Jukebox Studio 20 and received an error, "HD Error"on the screen.
