That was the issue...i didnt flash RAM and ROM.  It works now!  Yeah!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATEINCE AND HELP!

One last question.

Should I set the default to boot from ROM or RAM.  I saw in the wiki that ROM is better but thought I would ask your opinion since you have used it before.

Thanks again for everything!

I think mine is set to ROM, but I'm not positive.  I got the error 80 so I picked each startup option until I got it to start without the error.  I think Rom was the one that worked.  I think you will like it alot more with the mod.  Lighter, faster and no hard drive noise to worry about.  Glad it worked out.

So according to Chuck earlier in this thread it is okay to go back and put an older build that has the REP (mainly for peakmeter size) and it should work fine with the CF card mod without issue?

I use a current build, but yeah I think chuck uses the REP build.

Okay...final question I think:

Does the CF Mod ever have to be defragged or anything like that like you had to do on a hard drive?  This is the first time I have ever used a CF media so I have no clue.

Thanks again for all the help!

Once you have recorded on it and backed it up on your PC, reformat the CF Card before each recording sessuion ;)

Good to hear that you got it working Cheesecadet! See, it wasn't that tough.

Yeah, I use an old version of the REP, because I just love the balance meter function in that build.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

I actually had issues with mine last night!  I'm not sure what happened, but it turned off and then on start up went to the hold menu.   ???  I don't run it as a main deck so it didn't really matter.

When you say backed up...you mean just transfer the recorded show over to my computer right?  So I don't lose it during CF reformatting.

Do I have to take the CF card out to reformat it again or can I do it via the USB?

Thanks

You can leave the card in the H120 and reformat through the USB, but you will also have to load rockbox since the will be removed with the reformat.
