Default Re: How To: Removing Memory Hack

Got a hacked player - advertised as 8GB but was actually 4GB. I performed the above process but could not slide the partition bar - so I just performed a Low level format. This worked okay on Windows XP. I then plugged my player into a PC running Vista and the device went crazy and kept restarting. I quickly performed a windows vista disk format (FAT32) on this PC and things calmed down. I did not perform the mympxplayer de-hack this time and so its back to reporting the capacity as 8GB. Perhaps I should of changed the capacity value to 4GB on the windows dialogue box. Yes I should of done this properly but I had just given it as a present and was trying to demostrate it. I suppose if the recipient tries to put more than 4GB onto it then that will be the point at which it goes crazy again. I kept quiet because it seemed to work and they didn't have the de-hack software.
