Not sure what problems you are having in upgrading.  Getting a 250 or 320 to work with PMM software is the main trick.  Note that they will NOT work in Windows Vista, only XP. 

Here is a step by step for the 250 drive, and the same steps apply to the 320:  http://forum.phathack.com/index.php/topic,1949.0.html (http://forum.phathack.com/index.php/topic,1949.0.html)

Is your PhatBox hacked?  You can't replace the disk without having first hacked the PhatBox to allow a new dis to be used.

Thanks Vortech, you are right I did not realize I had to use the original to hack box. The DMS is ok but have problem with PMM(currentsetup error) I tried to use PhathackMM but had hard time creating playlist & move songs) are there instructions on how to use phathackMM? how to replace speech voice(very hard to understand). Thanks Hippo

There is currently no help for PhatHack MM, as I've just not had the time to get that far!
I did start a WIKI section and will try and keep that moving along, and that can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DJ_VorTechS/PhatHack_Media_Manager/Manual

It might be a useful read anyway, as it might give you an insight into how the application treats devices/folders.

In the meantime where are you struggling with creating playlists and movign songs?

To change the TTS voice, go to 'Tools', 'Options' and then select the 'Encoder Settings' tab.
Drop down the 'Device/Folder' list and select your DMS.  Modify the TTS settings at the bottom, generally you should only need to change the voice.
