Zune 30 gb to 60 gb replacement hard drive part 1

i am showing how to take apart and install a new 60 gb hard drive in a 30 gb zune from Microsoft and how to put it back together. At the end I realize the harddrive i was trying to put in is actually 8 mm thick, in order for it to fit you need to install the drive that is 5 mm thick, that should fit perfectly and i am told that you can get as large as 120 gb harddrives that are 5 mm thick. Cheers!

This video was very helpful. I have everything put back together except I cannot get the ribbon cable reconnected to the hard drive. Any suggestions for putting the cable back in? Thanks.

@bahzut No I have not

@dseguin3 Did you figure out what happened or a solution?

[bahzut]

@dseguin3 The same exact thing happened with my 120gb.  REplacing the hdd caused it to show that error. Putting back in the original didn't fix it either.

@MRAngel805 Yes, you would have to check the physical dimensions of the the 30 GB hard Dr, if they are the same or relatively then yes, if its larger then no, if its smaller then yes but you may need some kind of cushioning to fill the gap or the empty space, that's something you'll have to figure out. Nothing I just said was beyond what you already know, I'm not saying this is a stupid question but use your own reasoning and you would have arrived at the same answer as i did.
