Thats an awful lot of mucking about to hack a player. I guess though theoretically it might work.
But I'm sure that they would use a program that can modify the original Master Boot Record of the 'disk' to show a larger size.
In my experience as a Educational ITC Co-ordinator i occasionally come across hard drives that refuse to run properly. An example would be when your computer crashes or freezes and you hit 'reset'. Upon startup scandisk will run and during the process, it reports "Your MBR has become corrupted and reports an incorrect disk size. Scandisk will now repair your MBR to reflect your disks true capacity" or something similar to that.
Has anyone seen that? .. mostly with Windows 95, 98, 98se and ME. Although I haven't seen that error for quite some time since Win XP became a standard operating environment.
