I did some more searching and found 'SwissKnife'. I've created 3 partitions.
:F (which is 4.08gb)
:G (which is 6.52gb)
:H (which is 7.98gb)
I did CHKDSK : /r on all 3 partitions and found the following:
:F (wouldn't get past 5%)
:G (verified as fine)
:H (had bad sectors, but windows fixed it)
Now, :F is basically of no use so that'll stay empty. If I dropped all the rockbox and firmware on part :G, when I record it'll record on that drive??
I need my iriver to record on that partition only.
A question: :H had bad sectors, but was fixed, I don't really wanna risk recording on that, but I'll use it for my other files, music, etc...
One last thing: Did I do the test right?? When testing is says 'windows is verifying free space' and then a percentage goes up until it finishes and shows a small report.
Correct?
Hopefully, this'll be ok now (I have 6gb to record with, which is enough for me at this time)??
Thanks for help,
Simon.
