Re: ZenStone Question

[Don Lorah]

Another problem with Zenstone
 My Zenstone, 1 gb, goes back about 1/2 hours after recharging; and goes to 
the beginning of the book after about 7-8 hours of play.  Any solution??

This is not my understanding of how USB drives work. I tried to find a
good reference to point to but I couldn't find one because I got so many
hits for utilities to create the equivalent of a recycle bin on a USB
drive. I'm pretty confident that Windows doesn't place a recycle bin on
your USB drive or your Zen Stone. I know I've never seen one on any of
my USB drives, and I've never mysteriously lost space on a USB drive to
a hidden recycle bin. I've also never had the problem where the Zen
Stone would play files that I had deleted.

Have you tried a hard reset on your Zen Stone, i.e. using a pin to press
the pin hole reset button? There may be a problem with your running
firmware. It looks like someone deleted the beginning of the thread
below, but I think I heard you say that reformatting the Zen Stone
temporarily fixes the problem. If resetting the Zen Stone doesn't take
care of it, you might try updating the FW on the Zen Stone. I haven't
done this in a while, but I think there are several ways to do this,
i.e. use Creative Media Lite or download a FW updating executable.

I'm also no filesystems expert, but I would think removing you're Zen
Stone without using the safely remove option could result in the
corruption of your Zen Stone's filesystem. I would think that once your
filesystem was corrupted, "results would be unpredictable" as they say,
and you could definitely be seeing the symptoms of such a corruption.

Good luck!

What kind of hardware you have to have in order to use it on your computer?
And, is it blind user friendly?
Thinks for helping me to get a better understanding of this in advance.
My best regards.

Hi Vicki,

When you delete files from the player, use the shift plus delete key
combination instead of just pressing the delete key.  If you just use
the delete key, it sends it to a recycle bin on your player, which
can't be seen when you look for it, and you'll have all those deleted
files taking up storage space.  Thank you Bill Gates!

Whether you safely remove the player or not has nothing to do with
this problem.  Not safely removing your player causes some other more
serious problems though.

You may have to reformat your player to get rid of the current
*deleted* files, but it shouldn't be a problem anymore if you delete
them as described above.

Laz

If you are using a windows computer are you using the safely remove hardware 
option before disconnecting the Zenstone?  If you are using a mac are you 
ejecting the Zenstone before disconnecting it?  In either case that's one 
reason that could be happening.

ZenStone Question

[Vicki]

I've been having an unusual problem with my Zenstone the last couple of 
months, and I'm hoping someone has a solution for me.

Sometimes when I delete files from the ZenStone, they show up as deleted, 
however, when I unplug it from the computer and listen, they are still 
there. They show up nowhere, so it's impossible to get them off without 
reformatting the Zenstone. That means reinstalling everything I want on 
there again just to remove things that are taking up space and not showing 
up.

Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do to either prevent it 
from happening or get rid of those invisible files without reformatting the 
entire Zenstone?

Thanks.

Vicki
