Recently I had the misfortune to severely damage the hard drive on my Zen Xtra. I then went into research mode and found out that you can change the hard drive in the zen as easy as changing a hard drive in a pc (In fact it's probably easier!). I will take you through the steps so that you too can upgrade your hard drive. As far as i know the Zen will take any size of hard drive as long as it is a laptop drive that is 9.5mm deep 2.5" wide. I recomend the Hitachi Travelstars as they are reliable and cheap. I chose an 80GB Hitachi Travelstar but i'm fairly sure the 100GB version will work just as well.

The "how to" guide with photos can be found right here.
