If you read the web forums like CDFreaks you will find some people who
have successfully substituted their own HDD. The claim that the format
is FAT32. But someone else pointed out that FAT32 has a 4GB limit on
file size. So you can't use a monster VOB where you have merged all
the 1GB into one huge 4.5GB file.
