it increases the amount of freespace on the drive. that partition is normally very full.

also, those are the files that are used when the camera "is ready to be recycled" after the cvs processing, therefore they are unneeded (unless you want to get em recycled.)

Well I'll try that then because doing it step by step with the how to on page one isn't working. After I try to upload my file my camera always goes into a hung state where I have to remove the batteries for it to turn off. Then it works fine.

Take a look at the procedure described here: forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=9198#9198" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=9198#9198 Even though it's a potentially dangerous flash write, IMO it's safer than uploading files directly to p4. So far I've only heard success stories on partition flash reads/writes to p4. p4 seems to be at least somewhat fragmented... I believe that this is throwing off the camcorders' normal file write routines on p4. I've been meaning to try the "defrag image" option in Winimage on a p4 image to see if it improves subsequent file writes, but haven't gotten around to it.

Where and how do you use winimage? is it part of xp or do i need to download it somewhere?

nevermind i found it. lets hope this works

when I go to upload flash onto the partition it warns me that my file is almost twice as large as the partition. What am I doing wrong?

how big are your replacement screens??? that could be stopping them from working also. (right click, preferences, look for it in bytes)

ok nevermind. another idiot newbie mistake. it woul help if i only downlaoded the partition that i need then inject and put it back. Instead i tried to put all of the partions on p4. that would have been bad. now I have hacking made simple :lol: thankx alot you guys

Heh, glad so many people like my "Hacking Made Simple" screen :)

Yeah my friends got a real kick out of it. What happened to Maxwell's shoe?

I used following method using OPS 0.9: 1)Downloaded the files to a drectory of my choice in my hard drive. 2)Made a backup copy of downloaded file into another directory in my hard drive. 3)Edited and modified the SPLASH (typed my name in there). 2)deleted the above files from camcorder. 3)Disconected the cable. 4)Reconected the cable. 5)clicked on update directory. 6)then upload the file in a sequence a follows (I uploaded bigger files first): SPLASH.JPG CAMPROCE.ZBM PROCES~3.JPG PROCES~3.ZBM SHUTDOWN.JPG LOGO.JPG Now disconect the cable and it is done. If you still have problem, then try delete the above files and uploading them in a different sequence (except SPLASH.JPG wich should be uploaded first). It should work. It worked for me. Though you do it at your own risk. Good Luck,

Beware deleting any image file you do not intend to replace. For the sake of your cameras at least replace them with 0 byte files. I now have a dead camera on my hands thanks to this ignorant error i made....All in all though it was cool while it lasted.
