I managed to fix my old Dell Digital Jukebox that had a failed drive. Replaced the drive with a CF card, found the firmware on the Internet, created a Windows XP virtual machine to do all the configuration and music loading. Worth it

Edit: FYI a CF flash card with an IDE adapter is just about the same size as these mini laptop drives. If you can image the existing drive you can image the cf card and swap it. Much lighter, faster, and lower power draw not to mention 64GB vs 6.
