Guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 according to pulp fiction, you simply buy a bigger HDD (the 2.5" ones i believe) and take out your existing HDD, have it unlocked by professional, and ghost all the data to the bigger HDD, and put it back into your unit, and it should work.

The services are online. You download their software to your PC, hook up the 2.5" drive from your Z1 to your PC using an adapter and their software unlocks it for a fee. In the case of the Z1 hdd it does it in about 5 seconds. Others could take much longer.

Guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 how much does it run to unlock? can you do multiple with the licence? or is it limited to one time? tia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They charge per HDD and discount if you buy larger packages. There are also time limited contracts that are cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the default limit of FAT32 which these drives use. I have not tried the suggestion of using some 3rd party tools to create a larger FAT32 partition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigFloppy Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Pulp.... What manufacturer of drive did you put in? I've seen some sweet deals on 100gb drives locally (I'm worried about compatibility if you know what I mean) Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
edrock200 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Pulp, did you use a new drive that doesn't support ATA locking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pulp_Fiction Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I used a Hitachi drive. 80GB. It supports locking but I disabled the security feature set prior to inserting the drive in the Z1. It WILL get locked if you don't do this. Use MHDD to disable the lock. I posted the info on this here already somewhere..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
