Default Partitioning to correct size

It's pretty easy to partition & format to the correct size with XP once you know how.

1. Run "h2testw.exe" to find out how much memory passes the test as OK .
In my case it was "1.7 GByte OK" (poor 2GB memory).

2. Download a program called "Windows Enabler" from Windows Enabler.
You don't need to install it, just run it and click on the icon in your task bar to turn it ON.

3. Click on your START button, select RUN and type "diskmgmt.msc" and ENTER.

4. Select your removable disk in the disk management window and delete the partition.

5. Now create a new primary partition.
When you get to the window where the size of the partition can be selected enter the amount of memory which was OK (1700 in my case).
You can also decide how you want it formated (FAT,FAT32,NTFS).

If you disconnect the player and reconnect it and run "diskmgmt.msc" again, the greyed out extra disk space no longer exists.

6. Run "h2testw.exe" again to confirm that your memory is ok. If you get an error try partitioning again with a smaller amount of memory.

I have used my RIZONE for a couple of weeks without a problem.

DON'T use the players own format option. I think the firmware will revert the memory back to the old hacked size.
