HDD is not shown as internal memory but as external.
Your free internal memory is lowered by ~400 MB but it's total size is still ~1.5GB
when i done these steps on the [GUIDE] ADB Driver Install for Dummies ...
1. Download this zip and extract it to your desktop
2. Open the start menu, type Device Manager in the search box, then wait and the Shortcut "Device Manager" will appear above in the box. Click it. Wait a moment and Device Manager will appear
3. Enable USB Debugging on your Archos device, in Settings > Applications > Development > Tick USB Debugging and accept the warning
4. Plug in your device into your PC
5. Go back to device manager and find ADB under Unknown Devices (will have a yellow ! next to it)
all went well until i got to 5, it didnt show up unknown devices, it showed up at portable devices and it did not have a yellow ! next to it????
does it mean anything?

in the process of rooting and i've got to this point....
6. Download this file (THANKS surdu_petru!)
7a. If you downloaded the file to your computer:
With your tablet plugged into the pc, copy the file to the INTERNAL STORAGE of the drive, NOT IN ANY FOLDERS
7b. If you downloaded the file to your tablet:
Open "Files"
Go to download and copy the file archos_3.2.79.ext4 to the Internal Storage, NOT IN ANY FOLDERS
8. Download this and this and remember where they are
9. Turn off the device normally
10. Hold power + volume down until the archos logo appears and a recovery menu appears
11. Use Volume Up + Down and power to select Recovery Menu > Developer Edition menu
but when i use power and volume down, it takes me into archos a101s recovery,
BUT... my only options now are...
reboot
update firmware
repair system
format system
so what have i done wrong? i followed all the instructions correctly and completed them all,
only thing i can think of is... half way through the whole rooting process, my battery died and the tablet turned off, i turned it back on and continued.
would this of messed it up? or due to it turning off, would i of needed to restart the whole process?
---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
Someone please let me know if they know a solution to this? as i cant work it out.
I do know archos updated/changed their recovery but how do i get around this?

HI!
First you need to Enable SDE menu , take a look here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560211&page=11 ( post # 107 )
What is SDE? first i've heard of it, and its not mentioned throughout all the tutorials
are you 100% sure this is the reason i cant get any further?
What is SDE? first i've heard of it, and its not mentioned throughout all the tutorials
are you 100% sure this is the reason i cant get any further?
SDE is mentioned everywhere in archos forums xD
try looking at the very first page of this guide..... "Enable SDE and Permanently root your tablet" if you cannot pay attention to something so simple, you will probably screw up your rooting. And SDE the way to install custom firmware.
try running a command prompt from the adb folder (probably c:/android/android-sdk, maybe /platform-tools
"All free download slots are in use. You can download this file immediately by upgrading to FileFactory Premium. Otherwise, please feel free to try again shortly."
Please can i have these files from another hosting service? Can't download from this one several hours (Also trying to saving link directly actually downloads only index.php)
By the way, does this method of enabling SDE works for 4.0.5 firmware?
OK, so i've gone through the process again and done the SDE part and its still the same, when i go into recovery, i dont have the option, my only options are...
reboot
update firmware
repair system
format system
and before anyone asks, i followed everything step by step.
anyone???
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------
good point, as im currently on 4.0.5 and i also cant get SDE to work.
i can get to the recovery but my options are different to what their ment to be.
---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------
also... when i download the ZImage and the initramfs.cpio... am i ment to save them on the computer or the tablet? if tablet, do i just save them on the internal storage?
You didn't enable SDE. Please follow instructions in SDE thread.
Tutorials (this one, in SDE thread and in custom firmware threads) say everything you need to know. Please read carefully.
