So, I just happen to have one of these adapters and a extra compact flash card.

Does anyone have a working iRiver with a bad hard-drive that they want to sell me?
There are a few on ebay.

^  who knows what else is wrong with those iRivers.  They are missing a battery and a hard drive for a reason.  Plenty or iRivers with burnt-up power supplies out there....

Everything works the same but you do have to take it apart to get the hard drive or cf card out.  This isn't a filed replaceable CF mod, just a storage swap.

So, does the USB connector on the bottom of the H120 still allow you to read and write files off of the H120 with out having to re-open the H120 to "download" the show?

yeah, the iRiver should work just like it did.  All this does is just replace the harddrive with a new harddrive that just happens to be solid state!

Since I upgraded to a 40gb, if anyone needs a 20gb drive 100% working, PM me, as I have no idea what they are worth, but I should get rid of it.

Also, I have a 2100 mAh battery that I bought for my wife's H120 but it came in after I sold it, brand new.  I also have 2 used 1300 mAh batteries, used, as is, make an offer.

I don't see why it couldn't be possible.  CF is just an IDE drive with different connector, you just need to find the right adapter.
