These guys take the original drives out of the Nomad Jukebox and replace with a 20GB unit. Get the 6GB's cheap: http://www.nomadjukebox.net/6gbfujhardri.html

Now can anyone point me to the right thread so that I can figure out how to mount this puppy in my webplayer.

There's a picture of a mounting setup here:

K-Ray's site has shots of the BIOS screens:

And you also may have to set "Large Disk Access Mode" to "DOS" to get some drives to work.

For mounting, remove the MB, put the drive underneath where it fits and wire it up. Some use tape to keep it in place, but I countersunk four screws (gotta love the dremel) to mount the drive from the bottom. I had the whole thing apart at the time, don't try it with anything in there of course.

***IMPORTANT****

Don't let the hard drive touch the bottomm of the motherboard. Something might short out. I made that mistake with my first WP and blew the lower video chip.

Easy fix - just take one of those little advertising cards that fall out of magazines. Cut it to size and place it between the HD and the mobo.

My WP works with NO PROBLEMS.

Double bummer. My order for one got turned down due to '60 people ordering 400 drives.' Greedy bastardos.
