Changing Removable Disk Sp

Hello... I have a new 6GB Zen Micro...and a teenager who's been working on getting it up and running...for some reason she set up the Removable Disk Space as 2GB and has since started to sync about 200 songs to the Zen...we want to put the full 6GB to music, since that's all she'll use the Zen for...if we change the alloted space now, I think we'll have to reformat? If we do this, will it totally delete all of her music she's already loaded? Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I believe that you can scroll through your Menu to get to Removable Disk and then click <i>Removable Disk </i> and select <i>Disable</i>. It will take some time to reallocate the space, but once it's done, you should have your full capacity.
If you'd like to reserve some space you can select from 28 Mb and up.

  • Ipod 160GB showing in Windows Vista OS as Removable Disk, not appearing in iTunes (latest version). How can I resolve?, Ipod 160GB showing in Windows Vista OS as Removable Disk, not appearing in iTunes (latest version). How can I resolve?

    My Ipod 160GB when disconnected is showing without any files, but no room available. It appears in my 'Computer' screen as 'Removable Disk (though the icon is a little iPod). It does not show up in iTunes at all (I have the latest version).
    When I right-click the icon on the 'Computer' screen it does run incredibly slowly. I was doing this to consider if I should try formatting it (only NTSF and exFAT formats were showing) but I wasn't certain if that would be a good idea.
    I have thus far:
    Hard Reset iPod
    Verified the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver was installed correctly via Device Manager
    Checked the device in 'Computer Management' > 'Disk Management - showing as a RAW file with only format option as exFAT or NTSF
    Ran iPod in Diagnostic Boot Mode - IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* - stats revealed 'Error' (did this twice to confirm error). Reset iPod from here.
    After this it actually came up in iTunes but said it needed to be restored - ran Restore iPod. Error message said 'iPod cannot be restored. Uknown error occoured (1415).
    Tried Solution 1 (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539) - Reregistering the .dll files. Was unable to complete step 11 as the iPod did not appear in iTunes.
    Verified that Apple Mobile Device Manager was installed.
    Restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    Checked for third party conflicts - couldn't find any.
    Changed the drive letter and restarted the computer.
    Put into disk mode - unsure what that achieves.
    Downloaded the HP USB with no luck running the program. I believe that Windows Vista doesn't allow formatting drives to FAT32 at all, and even previous editions of Windows wouldn't allow formatting above 32GB so certainly no suitable for me. If I got hold of a mac computer - could I format on that? Or is there a FAT32 Formatter that works for 160GB?
    So I am at a bit of a frustrated loss. If you have any suggestions or know what I should do - I am all ears or eyes as it were. I will be on standby to give you more information if required.
    Thanks,
    Ashley

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Also see these (if you haven't found them already):
    Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod

  • IPod not showing up in Windows or iTunes? Showing up as removable disk :F ?

    I have a 5th generation iPod Nano and I have had it for about a year. I tried plugging the iPod into my computer (Windows), but my computer and iTunes do not recognize it. The first few seconds when I do plug in my iPod, I go to My Computer and I see my iPod with my name beside it, but after about 2 seconds, it changes to Removable Disk :F and then it disappears completely after another second. Last night, when I upgraded my iTunes version, the iPod connected fine, but today, my iPod has not been recognized at all. Help please?

  • Zen Vision M 60GB removable disk on Vi

    Hi,
    I want to use the removable disk function on my zen vision m 60gb at capacity 32GB. I can't do this on the player; it wants me to use the "Creative Removable Disk Manager" to set the capacity, but what looks like the setup for this program on the install disk won't run on vista, and I can't see any help for this on the site. Can anyone advise a way to let me use the 32GB removable disk function?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response,
    The player has 8 options for capacity of removable disk, 52MB, GB, .5GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 6GB and 32GB. Changing it through the player itself, like you say, works for choices up to 8GB, but trying it on 6GB and 32GB the player gives the message "Unable to resize. Use the Creative Removable disk manager to resize." I've tried cleaning up and rebooting, I've tried formatting the removable disk section but no joy. I had the impression that this issue was common to all these players, because the size was too big to handle itself.

  • SQL 2008 R2 Cluster | change Cluster Disks

    Hello,
    We have a SQL cluster (for SharePoint 2010) consists of two nodes Windows server 2008 R2 & SQL 2008 r2.
    The SQL cluster have MSDTC (Clustered) & SQL services, with total four disks:
    Quorum Disk
    MSDTC Disk
    Databases disk
    Logs disk.
    Now the old SAN will be decommissioned and new LUNs have added to replace the our disks above. I managed to change Quorum & MSDTC. I used the below robocopy command to copy databases and logs with the same folder structure and permissions:
    robocopy t:\ l:\ /E /MIR /SEC /COPYALL /V
    I stopped SQL services then swapped drive letters , when I start SQL services it starts without problems (using the new Disks).
    But the issue is when I connect to SQL management studio, all databases are in suspect mode. I know there some SQL query to be run against each database , but this a production environment and I don't want to mess with it.
    Is there any other way to change cluster disks of SQL cluster? or use the above method without getting into suspect mode?
    Thanks, Shehatovich

    Hello, Shehatovich
    I you have copied the files while there were still online, that might have been the cause 'suspect' state of your databases.
    I would suggest you to follow the steps:
    Add the new disks to cluster, with validation in every single Cluster node (then cluster will be able to get the signature of the disks)
    Stop SQL Server service.
    Copy the MDF and LDF to the new disks,
    use the Detach and attach Method.  (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858.aspx)
    After check tha your databases are online and consistent.
    Stop SQL Server service again and remove the disks
    Hope it may help you...

  • PC thinks iPod is a Removable Disk

    When I hook up my iPod to my laptop (Dell XPS M140), it shows up in My Computer as "Removable Disk (E:)". When I run the iTunes Diagnostics, the result is that no iPod is shown as connected. What do to?
    Thanks,
    Safety43

    Connect the iPod to a rear port on your computer, and connect your keyboard and mouse. If you are on a network, disconnect from it. Now disconnect any other USB device including printers, cameras, thumb drives, external hard drives, modems, scanners, etc.
    Now change the drive designation on the iPod. Try or M or P or Z. Also, make sure your drivers are current for all your other USB devices:

  • Using The Removable Disk Opt

    Hey! I have a Creative zen Gb and I've turned 52Mb into a removable disk for storage and now I can't change it back to be 0Mb. I've deleted all the files in the removable disk and erased the free space but still it won't give me the option of reducing the size of the removable disk...
    Any ideas gratefully received.

    Extras->Removable Disk, then press *and hold* the Back button till a menu appears. Then choose 'Disable.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

    No, Apple does not offer such a service. You might try something like Brasso, but generally nothing will really remove scratches.

  • RDX removable disk cartridges usable for backup?

    Hello:
    Has anyone had any experience using RDX removable disk cartridges for Time Machine or EMC retrospect? It's a new storage platform to me. My VXA-2 tape drive went and I was looking at this removable disk system. It seems like an alternative to tapes.
    Anyone with any thoughts on using this with Retrospect or Time Machine.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    I'm not familiar with them, but from what I see on the web site, yes, it might be a good alternative to tape (didn't know anybody still used tape!)
    It doesn't look like this would be compatible with Time Machine, though, since it's a network device. If it can't be attached directly to a Mac via FireWire or USB (or a Time Capsule via USB), it's probably not going to work with TIme Machine: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    Even if you could get TM to back up to it, the removable feature is at cross-purposes to Time Machine: one of Time Machine's big advantages is the quick hourly backups, always easily available for recovering a previous version of something changed or deleted in error.
    While you could back up and take the disk(s) offsite, it would likely be much cheaper to get a pair of portable external HDs: use one for a week or so, then take it off-site and swap with the other; or do Time Machine backups to a desktop external, and periodic bootable "clones" or other image-type backups to a portable you can take offsite.

  • Yosemite will not install and won't let me change startup disk, it's saying there is a file system problem but disk utilities can't fix it.

    I Downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and went to install it on my iMac. The install failed saying file System needed repair. Ran disk utility could do the verify but the repair button was grayed out. When I tried to change startup disk back it wouldn't let me , saying it couldn't gather enough file info. So I'm stuck and can't boot my Mac. How do I get out of this?

    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Try to reboot normally.

    The message means that your internal hard has been damaged. This message always comes up when the file system is corrupted. I suggest to remove it, connect the hard drive into a different computer as an external drive (use usb caddy), perform a backup if possible and the format the hard drive and restore the factory settings. I'm afraid that you have to reformat the hard drive, a checkdisk scan won't help..
    The error message means that the Boot Sector is corrupt or has been damaged. It does not mean that the hard disk is damaged.
    This is a fixable issue. There are a few command line tools that can be used.
    You will  need to make an appropriate version (32-bit / 64-bit) of the Windows 7 repair disc from a working Windows 7 installation. You will need either a USB or CD to create your rapair CD/USB. Follow the instructions on this video to create the repair installation of your choice..You will will be using the manual boot sector repair that is described in this video to repair your Windows 7 Boot sector.  Use the Windows 7 repair disc or repair USB thumb drive that you created earlier to accomplish the repair.

  • Mail...writing changes to disk...taking forever!

    My Mail has been rendered useless since Mavericks upgrade.  I have installed the initial patch and the most recent Mavericks update.  Same problem persists...
    Mail takes forever to load
    Mail is always writing changes to disk
    I love Mail - but it is useless now.  Frustrating.
    Most of my mail accounts are Gmail. 

    I cannot cope with this any longer, I am using a MacBook Pro and the machine is unusable since upgrading to Mavericks. Mail is churning constantly and I cannot do anything else with the machine. Can anyone suggest a new email programme or either on Mac or PC? I am sorry Apple but you have failed me for the final time with this upgrade.

  • IPod nano being read by Windows as "Removable Disk"

    I have a 4gb nano, current firmware 1.1.1. Now, I've updated it before to the music on iTunes (back when it was on 1.0), but then one day, the iPod suddenly showed the exclamation/folder icon. So I restored the iPod with firmware 1.1 (it recommended I update, so I did), but my computer couldn't recognize the iPod. It kept showing a little baloon (I'm using XP) saying that the device could not be written to (only when I unplugged it, however). So, I thought that maybe it was just trying to write to it very slowly, but after leaving it there for a day, supposedly "writing" to the iPod, there were no results. I updated to 1.1.1, thinking that maybe 1.1 had a bug that caused this, but then I was confronted with the problem of nothing recognizing it at all. Windows now shows the iPod as a "Removable Disk", and when I double click it, it shows the loading mouse for about a minute; until it says
    "E:\ is not accessible.
    The Files or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
    NOTE: I have NEVER used any third party software like linux or "hacked" my iPod.
    So, after looking around, I followed the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Because I could see the device in My Computer but couldn't open it, and iTunes didn't recognize it.
    However, it was not a success, so I tried the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343
    But that also didn't work. I am now at a loss for explanation, can anyone help me? This is my mother's iPod, and she's leaving on a business trip in two days; I'd like to get her music back on it so she can use the iPod on the plane. Any ideas?

    It wasn't being recognized by anything... including the updater. But after searching through other threads, I found that other people have had this problem as well; it seems the firmware is the prime target for the scre-up. Thanks, Benoa, for the steps! Although you've probably heard it enough times already.

  • Ipod has been reformatted and now shows up as a removable disk drive any he

    I-pod has been reformatted and now shows up in windows as a removable disk drive can not get updater to recognize. any help?

    Wow...I never thought there would ever be such a screwy problem like this on such a large scale....has anyone noticed how many similar posts have been posted in the last week or so? Not saying this never happens to anyone--in fact, it's happened to me beofre, but it was simple to fix...but the same problem happening with so many people at about the same time*...I don't know, it's kind of strange...anyway....
    Yeah, I'm a Mac/Apple guy to the core, and have been since 7th grade (about 11-12 years now). Yet, I can't help but look at my iPod as if it has self-destructed. I was listening to it (w/ tape adapter, of course) on the way home in the car, then unplugged it for literally five minutes, got into my apartment, plugged it in my dell Latitude, and poof it had been reformatted. So, the moment I plugged it in, its funcionality basically vanished. The 5 R's have been useless thus far, and I can't even reformat using Explorer, because Windows tells me that the 1 GB iPod now has no storage capacity. ***? Strange, strange. Anyhow, sorry for the rambling, but this really confounds and frustrates me. APPLE....HELP US PLEASE!
    *Don't get me wrong: I'm not a conspiracy nut; it's just hard to wrap my mind around this right now.
