Archos AV500 HDD Upgrade??

[True_Scotsman]

Hi, was looking at the Archos AV500 with 30gb hdd, was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade the HHD to maybe an 80gb etc, is there anything i would have to do? (firmware etc)

Thanks

Can't be done if I remember correctly, the hard drives are (physically) locked into that player. There was a petition flying around asking archos remove the lock but like most petitions it probably had no effect.

EDIT
here's the petition:

And as such I guess this thread can go no further.
