your hard drive is just fine (i have a ihp100 with a 30 gb). it all depends on the amout of track and type files on the ihp -120. but getting back to speeding up your boot time (try ROCKBOX) www.rockbox.org you can still have your 120 with a less than 30 second boot up time, customize equalizer, while playing screens and more. and you are right the new players do match up to ours.

how to open / replace hard drive and or battery http://www.misticriver.net/wiki/index.php/H1xx_Internal_Battery_Replacement

You can get a replecement on Ebay or at Maplins the spec is

In: 100-240V~50-60Hz 360mA
Out: 5V~2A

be careful I once fried an IHP-120 by using the wrong charger. I replaced the battery but taht wasn't the issue. I had it replaced with a IHP-140 and now my old charger has gone too. I got a replacement through the company I bought it from but they have none left.

Battery replacement directions are advaliable from misticriver.net.

You can download the software from Iriver goto support then to download and select your player. I would recommend re-formatting your player with a program such as swissknife http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm in case you've accidentally partition it somehow. It probably wouldn't hurt to run windows scan disc after formatting(right click your player in my computer and select properties then tools then error checking and check th automatically fix errors box.

Same problem

Again avsense in freemont ca at 4038 clipper ct will repair it and you will be happy i sure am!!!!!

Nope, you're fine, it's just like pressing the reset button on your computer/playstation/whatever. It will just restart the iRiver and once it's restarted everything will be there just like it was before :)
