Harddisk Prob
Having this problem with my Zen Xtra. It cut out during play (it was dropped a few minutes prior). I now get the Rescue mode automatically. Clean up doesnt start, I choose it, choose tick, and I get the menu. The other options say Harddisk problem. Rebooting gives me the rescue mode again.
I've read the FAQ and it seems like my only option is to send it off to support, though I'm reticent since it isnt under warrantee and when my old minidisc player broke it took a year for my local shop (Sony in that player's case) to finish it and then they wanted 50 for it back (so 66 altogether since I paid 6 as a base fee). Since I dont want to fork out what I could for a new one to have it fixed, I just wondered what the best thing to do is
The Harddisk is a very fragile device especially the small one in the players. If you dropped the unit or even shake the unit when it is on, you would most definitely damaged the harddisk and the only option is to send it in for them to replace the harddisk. That is the main problem with a harddisk and that is probably why they are switching towards the flash memory based players.

Ummm I tried this technique with my Zen Micro and surprisingly it worked. If you listen carefully you might hear some fuzzy noises coming from within the hard disk. Just bang your Zen against a hard surface. This does work. As soon as you turn it on, start banging and it will go through the screen and play your files normally.
You are incredible. I have a Sleek and I love it but , Yes it said hard dri've problem. I tried everything but then I found your message. I turned the unit off and then as I turned it back on by reset as it was going on I gently banged the bottom until it came back on. One time and it worked. THANK YOU. AMAZING. Marvin -
I think I have a Harddisk prob
I got my zen sleek as a gift and have been trying to re-install the firmware about 20 times. Still I get "Firmware Problem", this last time my Sleek displayed "Harddisk Problem". I reset and now the hard dri've is making this strange sound like the heads are not touching the hard disk and they player gets stuck on the Creative or Zen Sleek screen. I don't know what to do but think I have a HD problem.

I've had my Zen since January and its been brilliant, took a while to get here due to middle-man company but great nontheless. Well, till today however; I was out with the Zen yesterday when suddenly the battery died, first time its happened but it didn't bother me. Charged it today and then went to turn it on to access my music, much to my dismay it stalled on loading up the mp3 player, pausing on the EAX screen. After about 2 minutes it loaded up the Rescue Mode screen, I tried rebooting it. Same problem, I tried cleaning it - nothing happened. I tried reloading the OS - 'Harddisk Problem'. I eventually after trying to update the firmware which didn't change a thing did the unholy task of formatting the disk ... again 'Harddisk Problem'.
Now I've contacted the company I bought it from AND Creative over this problem and I'm fearing its going to have to be sent back at the very least. Which isn't exactly the best scenario seeing as I'm heading to London next week, but anyway, if anyone knows of any way this can be fixed or if the the reason is quite obvious, please leave a post =)
Cheers.I've actually just read up on a site about this problem and scarily enough it was suggested a bit of brute force or shaking of the player may be advisable. I tried my hand at holding it at arms left and twisting my wrist from side to side, the other more drastic technique was to place the Zen on a surface, hold it, and give it a sharp tap on the side. The latter proved more effecti've and the annoying catching noise ceased to continue.

Hi,
I have a problem with my player.
If I turn it on it takes me to recovery mode.
I tried to Clean my players firmware but I get the message 'Harddisk Problem'.
I also get this when I try to Format my player the same 'Harddisk Problem' message.
I don't know how this could be because it never fell and my player is always in the leather pocket I got for it.
Firmware version: .6.0_0.0.23
Someone can help me with this.
I already contacted support.
Grtz,
NielsI have or had a 60 gig Vision M and there?was a problem with my dri've, but because the warranty of a massi've year is no longer acti've you got yourself a useful battery powered paper weight that gives you options of useless importance. I would be quite happy to send mine away and pay for it to get fixed after all thats what after service is all about. an after service.. I emailed for?help?got a useless response. A product at this price should have a warranty of at least two years. My confidence in Creative, who should be competing against ipod, is so deminished that I feel I should stand outside there factory with a banner slating them!!
If your reading this Creative I bet your reply won't help my cause, however witty and demeaning it may be, You supplied me with a naff product. You should be proud I was sold!!
Unless you want to send me a new one, but I know you won't!! -
After getting through a harddisk problem error (by using the Use At Your Own Risk method at http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=8&categories =Nomad+Jukebox+Zen#209)
I'm wondering if there are any suggestions on what I should do from here. Backing up my library is what I am doing now, but should I do anything else to the player itself (such as run a disk cleanup. reload OS...)? ThnxThanks for the input. Since the hardri've problem issue, my Zen Xtra started skipping / acting up. While playing a song a burst of the same or different song comes in at random times. I got to work and did a disk cleanup (the process showed it get to 500%, which is weird because I assumed it would stop at 00%). Anyway, it rebooted, then gets to the creative startup screen and continously flashes that screen. My only option is to remove the battery. I can't get into rescue mode either (just the creative screen flashing on and off). I don't have my charger with me, but, is this an indication of the battery being low? When I started the disk cleanup, I noticed that it went from two bars down to one. Does disk cleanup use a lot of battery power?Message Edited by whatchusay on -29-2005 03:0 PM

Whenever I boot up my MP3 player it goes straight to rescue mode. From here no matter what option I pick it comes up with 'Harddisk Problem' and goes back to the rescue mode menu. I have had it for 3 years now and I take very good care of it.
It is out of warranty so a replacement cannot be sent out or it fixed for free.
Any suggestions?well maybe you have a harddisk promblem, Sorry to sound repetiti've, I think you should go to customer service and see if its a problem that can be fixed, at worst they may ask you to buy another HD....

My Zen Extra will only go into rescue mode when turned on. If I then proceed to try a "Format All" or a "Reload OS" it says I have a harddisk problem. I have tried to "Clean Up" but it doesnt do anything, it just sits there in recovery mode. I have tried to reload my firmware, but with no result, as it takes longer than the life of the battery to load (it sits there with one bar filled, and doesnt change for hours) and It refuses to let me try it while plugged into the charger.
What should I do?alright i just tried the newest version of the firmware for the umpteenth time and SURPRISE! it works. i dont have to reinstall it everytime the silly thing fails a transfer, but it still fails transfers after a few files. any ideas?

Does anyone know how much it costs to have the hard disk replaced on the Zen Sleek? I bought the 20 gig player last Christmas and it froze up on me a couple of weeks ago. Cannot get it out of recovery mode. I am a little ticked off that a 250.00 player would just stop working and of course my warranty has expired. The only solutions that I can find are:? smack the thing around till it works again and send it in for repair. I am hesitant to beat up my mp3 player and I really don't want to mail the thing off to who knows where for repair. Any ideas? Thanks?un-happy camper:angry:
Yes I have. I have hit that reset button soooo many times. I tried thumping on it too, but, I am afraid I might do it too hard. At this point thought I am not sure what I have to lose.Shannon

HARD DISK PROBS / TIME MACHINE not behaving with TC ? READ THIS!!!!
I had many probs with the hard disk and now have a happy healthy TC working great with time machine, so I though I'd share my experiences with others hoping it will save you my huge pain !
i,
I've spent hours and hours trying to get the harddisk to work properly. Set-up was easy-peasy and the Airport works great for the internet. However, when trying to use time-machine and the hard disk it was a nightmare !!! Each attempt at the back-up failed after about 4 gig with a 'unable to mount volume' error. If I re-tried, it failed. Following some of the tips on the forums, I deleted the back-up file created by time machine on the hard drive and the initial back-up started successfully but failed after about 4 gig again (I had 96 gig to back-up). There are various fixes flying around -
*_ensure you have a name for your computer - should be short and no spaces or funny characters. Same goes for your name of the timecapsule. Some people are saying you should use an ethernet cable for your first back-up but that should not matter at all.*_ I took mine back to the apple store in the end - a mac genius downloaded all the latest patches (only came out 19th march) for the time-capsule firmware, time machine software and airport express. Still didn't work, so conclusion was the time-capsule was knackered !!! SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO GET APPLE TO REPLACE IT BUT MAKE SURE YOU TRY THE ABOVE FIRST.
New time-capsule was attached to my imac, started up great first time. My initial back-up ran through perfectly first time through wireless - it took 15 hours but I did have 96 gig to back-up. time machine sees this no problem so it looks like everything is fine. _*I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TC WAS MUCH MORE QUIET AND LESS HOT.*_
Good luck !!Hi,
Well, The external drive you have problem with is from a third party vendor :-)
I just looked up your model and we need to start over.
How do you connect it to your computer?
Is it plugged in to the router via ethernet and you access it over WiFi.
The drive needs to be setup as per supplied instructions.
The manufacturer says it is Time Machine compatible but from my experience I know this is not switched on by default.
The main reason why you cannot access it is you basically have to set it up for your use and most likely authenticate to it.
At this stage I'm quite sure there is no much wrong with that drive. It just need setting up.
Let me know if you have any instructions from Seagate which you can follow. -
Performance slowdown (harddisk problem?)
After a recently kernel update, my harddisk spins down quite a lot. The load_cycle_count increases by 1~2 per minute, for example when i use mouse to open or close a webpage, the harddisk will spin up again(with a short freeze sometimes).
hdparm -B 255(or 254) /dev/sda doesn't fix the problem.
Any hint where I should look into? Thanks.
Here is my dmesg output:

Last edited by hw86 (2008-11-07 02:48:05)I actually just did exactly that; I am not noticing any spin downs for the last couple of minutes.
As I had disabled HD management by laptope mode I wondered what was causing the spin down. Apparently, the setting CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT (the only HDD related setting that was enabled) was causing the spin downs.
# Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive idle timeout settings?
CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT=1
# Idle timeout values. (hdparm -S)
# Default is 2 hours on AC (NOLM_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=7200) and 20 seconds
# for battery and for AC with laptop mode on.
LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=7200
LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=20
NOLM_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=7200
LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS is set to 20 by default, which doesn't make sense to me, as the laptop still is on AC. Therefore I have set it to the same value as without laptop mode.
It seems like this has solved the issue.

I've recently bought an 'MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM' and I was wondering if it were possible to connect a non-sata harddisk (with sata to ata convertor) on the primary sata. I prefer not to use raid, just hook up the harddisk on the sata-connector like I was using IDE. That disk would also be my bootdisk (with windows on it).
Now I've got on my Primary IDE: harddisk (master)
Secondary IDE: CD-BURNER (master), DVD-BURNER (slave)
I would like to have the harddisk on the sata, but it have to stay bootable. And then I would like to have the CD-BURNER on the primary (master) and the DVD-BURNER on the secondary (master), so each device would be on a separate cable for better performance.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Jo'onI tought so too, that it would b possible, but the prob is that the bios doesn't recognice the hd. I used the converter from asus and from abit, both the same. The sata is turned on in the bios. My harddisk is a Western Digital 60GB. But I don't think that makes a difference. And when my hard disk is the only device that is plugged in (sata), it tries to boot from lan(or find arry, but don't want to use raid). So what am I doing wrong?
I do think that the mobo knows there's a device attached because it takes a while before he sais 'none', but it takes way longer than when no device is attached in the sata (first I thought it was a lockup).
Can someone tell me what to do, because msi isn't emailing me back.
TIA

hiho!
i have a prob.
when i want to install Win XP Professional my computer hangs always after the screen where it says "press F6 for RAID / SCSI controllers"
but when i install win98 my compi works without any problems.
i don't know what i have to do..(is it the harddisk controller?? - i have changed 5 different controllers, but always the same: compi hangs :( )
AMD Athlon XP2400+
512 MB DDR RAM ( Infineon - PC2700 )
GF4 Ti-4200 ( Leadtek )
K7N2-L nForce2 Mainboard
30GB Harddisk
PSU 400W ( 28-35A )
100 Mbit Network Card
Floppy and 2 CD RomHi Majo,
I don't know what you mean when you say "I have changed 5 different controllers" do you mean you've changed the Mobo 5 times or are you using a PCI RAID card with your HD.
If you are using a PCI RAID card then you must install the drivers when XP asks for you to setup RAID/SCSI.
I Had similar probs with my K7N420D pro. I narrowed it down to one of two things:
1. On board Ethernet - XP didn't like the fact that I was plugged into an active cable modem whilst installing (XP).
2. PCI RAID Controller - XP didn't like this either and I had to remove it whilst installing XP - installed the card after succesful XP install.
BTW, I have a dual boot system and had no such difficulties with installing Windows ME.
May or may not help you - just a thought.

Heye all...
Have this weird prob, just installed my new board so my system looks like this
P4 2.4 533MHz
2*512 PC2100 RAM
Newest bios
Palit GeForce4 ti4200 AGP8
400 Watt PSU
1. When I did a fresh install of XP Pro I had to run RAM in dual DDR, otherwise the install would halt after loading all the drivers???
2. When the install of XP sp1 finished and I installed the official detonater drivers end rebooted, the system crashes only after a few minutes in XP???
It hangs and after a little while BSOD then it reboots.. then XP says that the driver nv4_disp.dll caused the system to become unstable.
3. Changed the vid card to my old GeForce2 MX, no prob at all.. finished freedom fighters with that card.
4. Got a new GeForce4 ti4200 AGP8, same prob. right away??
5. Changed to a GeForce3 ti200 no prob at all???
I figure this much.. since all bios settings are default (tried a bunch of other settings too) it must rely on the AGP8 or what ??? Since none of the two other functioning cards have a prob. and they only run AGP4..
Please let me know whet U think..Heye tried the software suggestions without any luck..
Got a new board from msi, same prob.??
Upgraded the bios to the new 1.7 no difference..
Tried to oc the 2.4 to 2.6 ran more stable for a while only to exit the games to the desktop, gave it more juice, same prob.
Set the bios to slow, not being able to boot into windows at all ???
Uninstalled corecenter, now I can access windows.
Gave the agp more juice, no difference the vid card freezes after a min. in games.
Gave the ram more juice no diff... :=)
Disabled fastwrites no diff..
So I´m thinking could it be the psu?? it´s 400Watts but I also have:
coolermaster aerogate II
4 blue uv leds
Thermaltake graphics cooler
120 mm system fan
60 mm system fan
2 Harddisks
2 cd-drives
2 ram blocks
Maybe this board demands a little more than the other I had (SIS) with the same setup???
