Some time ago I was very upset to find that the hard drive on my Archos Recorder MP3 player had died. Not only did it put the MP3 player out of action, not only did it mean that my many hours of ripping albums and transferring them to the Archos had been wasted, but I had used it to store some photographs taken in Italy. Now they, too, were lost.
Over the last couple of days, I've taken the player apart, taken out the hard drive (which is a standard laptop-style hard drive), plugged it into a PC I set up especially for the purpose using an adapter bought at Maplin, and successfully mounted the filesystem. I've already copied across and looked at the lovely photos from Italy, and now I'm slowly copying all 6GB of music onto my laptop across our 10Mbit network. Update: 51% complete...
It seems I haven't lost any data! Rah, rah and thrice rah!
