  • You will run into problems.

    22  
  • This is for experimental software, not an 'upgrade' of any kind. If you are looking for one, ask Archos, not us!
    •  
    23  
  • You need to obtain a ZIP file that contains 'system' and 'cramfs' directories extracted from a recent original Archos Firmware (then you can skip the step compiling AOS-tools and unpacking it).
    •  
    24  
  • When it says 'remove safely' you MUST ALWAYS disable the drive letter from the ext3 driver window, else it will NOT work. (missing zImage, initramfs and also missing 'Archos' entry in the boot menu are sure signs of this)
    •  
    25  
  • If something doesn't work then please kindly turn to one of the Archos forum sites. We are not able handle Windows problems on the chat.
