Hacking the Zune

[Guest lpxxfaintxx]

For those who don't know what a Zune is, it is a supposed "Ipod-Killer" from Microsoft. I want to (attempt) hacking the Zune, but there is one MAJOR problem: The Zune does not appear as an external hard drive on your copmuter! So the Zune doesn't appear in "My Computer" so there is no way to directly access the inside of the Zune without the Zune Software.

Are there any ways around this? I've heard before about something called a 'stripper?' I am a complete noob at this, can anyone help me out?

Link to forums/sites that may be able to help me out is appreciated.

Regards,

LPX

As the zune has only just been released it may be a while until hacking methods become known.

wait ... clear this up for me...

you're a "total noob" and don't know what a "stripper" is, yet you want to attempt to "hack" the Zune?

Am I missing something here? If you can't do something as simple as hacking the Zune as is, then I fail to really see how you're a viable candidate for getting the Zune to do whatever you want (whatever that may be).

I just want to use the Zune as an external harddrive so I may store files, like documents and files.

And what's interesting is... he just joined today and asked about hacking the Zune on a mobile phone related website.

Something's fishy... (unless he's very lost on the interweb :) )

This is why the internet won't replace actual interaction, because if this mellon head were in front of us we could give him a collective kick to the shin and say "that'll learn 'ya".
