My NOMAD jukebox Zen XTRAis stuck in Rescue mo

Yo its stuck in rescue mode could you please help me. When I click on something such as "Format All" It says their is a "Hard Disk Problem." I can't do anything.
Thanks.Message Edited by jorge on 0-5-2005 06:2 AM

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0033ff>your hard disk probably needs to be replaced - the same thing happened to me and when i called customer support they gave me an rma number (return merchandise authorization number) to return the player to have it serviced. i tried everything - even had my husband open it up to check it out (he's an electrician) and he couldn't get it working. call the customer support number (i can't remember it right now), and even though it talks about calling only if you're still in the warranty period, you can still get help with returning the player for servicing. good luck

  • Nomad Jukebox ZEN Xtra stuck in safe m

    Stuck in safe mode, no matter what option I choose it's stuck there in rescue mode. And now my laptop won't detect it as a device. I've downloaded and installed new device drivers and nothing, still unable to install the device. Basically, I need it to recogniZe the Zen so I can at least try a firmware update. Any suggestions?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. All of the sudden when I plugged in the mp3 player nothing happened. It's like it has never been plugged into the computer before. Even the familiar sound we've all heard when we plug in USB devices has changed to one I have never heard.... Someone please help.

  • Problem starting up my Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen X

    Ok well I have a 40GB Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, and have had it for about a year. Now earlier today i was attempting to connect it to my computer to copy songs onto it. The battery ran out and i was not able to do this.
    When turning my player back on, it got stuck on the loading screen that says EAX and did not move from this. When it is on this screen, i can't turn it off.
    I let the battery run out to see if it would start when i then charged it, yet the same happened, and it turns on as soon as i put in the charger it is again stuck on this one loading screen.
    I have pressed reset as well, and this makes no difference, it just loads up to the same screen and doesn't move. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!Message Edited by mattyb23 on 09-25-2005 06:23 PM

    Go into rescue mode and run a disk cleanup.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra VS Winows Media Player - Help?

    I have a 40gig Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - a computer crash a year ago resulted in a replacement by the computer company - and it came with Windows Media Player.... when I tried to run it and had already installed the Creative software/Music library - Media Player crashed my computer every time - had to uninstal...,. now - that computer is defecti've and has just been replaced again by the maker - and before I load the Creatai've Software wondered if this is what is interfering with Media Player? Does anyone know? When I buy music it looks for Windows Media Player I believe - and I can play it and transfer the music in Creative program - BUT - it no longer lists my music library as single songs but as folders - and I have to go specifically into a remote folder to try to find the downloaded music and transfer to the Nomad....
    Any help is appreciated..... I'm lost!
    Thanks

    The firmware update only works on a windows XP machine.
    you also need to have Windows media player 0 installed
    you must not have windows media player or windows media player runtime lurking in your windows XP add/remove programmes bit on the control panel.
    if you do have WMP first remove it ( roll back) then re-boot, then remove windows media player runtime ( rioll back) and re-boot.
    open windows media player, if it is windows media player 0 then you should be OK, if its windows media player 9 you need ot download and install windows media player 0.
    Check again to make sure that windows media player and windows media player runtime are not in the add/rmove programs.
    Back up everything on the player, all music, playlists and data files.
    update the firmware.
    if it stalls part way, like it did for me the last time i updated a Zen Xtra ( last weekend -installing a new motherboard ) dont panic.
    it will go to rescue mode, close the firmware update, the player will go to rescue mode, then re-satart the update, on the zen xtra, slect re-load OS then on the firmware update click on English. then slect re-load os on the player.
    make sure that the player is fully charged, and that the mains charger is also attached.
    just out of interest, when you remove the front panel on your zen xtra to get to the battery, does the headphone jack ( visable through a hole in the top right) have a blob of red paint on

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Firmware Update Issue

    My player does not get recognized after attempting to update firmware (ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe) according to website instructions.
    When turned on the player displays "Firmware Problem" for a fraction of a second, then it goes into Rescue Mode v., Boot v.4, HW v0.0., 4 items in the menu ( Clean Up; 2 Format All; 3 Reload OS; 4 Reboot)
    This is my setup:

    Please advise, thanks in advance,

    Problem solved!
    I did not follow the link you provided, thanks for the suggestion anyway. I read in another post that you advised to disable the device in Device Manager, although I took a different route. This is what I did after enabling Mediasource DETECTOR
    . Completely uninstall Windows Media Player , revert to WMP 0, inlcuding the Runtime
    2. Reboot the PC
    2. Once rebooted connect the player to the PC
    3. right click MY COMPUTER->MANAGE->DEVICE MANAGER
    4. Under Windows Portable Devices right click NOMAD JUKEBOX ZEN XTRA, then select Update Drivers
    5. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers" to select the driver, OK all the windows
    6. Run ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe with the player connected
    7. I was prompted if I wanted to replace the Firmware with the same version (2.0.03) I said yes... within seconds the player came back to normal.
    I hope that the above can help people in my same situation. The culprit seems to be WMP and all the hidden software installed with it. Freakin Microsoft!
    Final question. Now that the firmware has been updated, am I safe by installing WMP ?
    Thanks!

  • Nomad jukebox zen xtra - cannot create file w message when trying totransfer fi

    My 30G nomad jukebox zen xtra was working great until recently. Now when I power my player up after a day of no use, it takes 0-5 minutes to rebuild the library. When I begin to transfer files using Media source after a few transfers I get the "unable to create file" message and can no longer transfer. I have tried disk clean up and re-booting to no avail. I tried installing the new firmware and this worked for about 80 songs and then I began getting the same problems. I have completely cleaned my PC of adware and spyware and this has no effect. I love my player but am becoming a little frustrated. Would anyone have any ideas? This all started when I turned on my player one day and all of the music was gone. I re-transfereed everything back and later noticed that I had two of everything. I deleted all of the duplicates and from that point on it began to take 5 minutes to rebuild the library but I could still transfer files with no problems. One last thing, when I run disk cleanup in rescue mode, once it gets to 99% done it stalls there for about 0-5 minutes before going back to the rescue mode menu.
    scott

    i experienced the same problem. until 2 weks ago it worked fine. but a visited the support site and found out that all the software was new. so i downloaded the new versions. even the new firmware with the e at the end. i was at the edge to smash my monitor when i found out that after the firmware update the sound was hearing so quiet. after rebuil os and searching 2 hour on the net for the previous firmware release, prior to E release, i solve the sound problem.
    but another appeard. cannot copy files on the player. if i choose to delete them, they disappear. i turn off the zen nx, turn back on and the files were still there. practically all the copy/delete/new folder/paste function were blocked. and the same problem on WIN XP and win 2000. all this because i installed the new versions for nomad explorer, nomad mediacenter, nomad plugin for media center.
    solution: uninstalled all the creative software. put the original cd in the dri've. installed all the original software. it was running perfect. so, i could operate again in the data files on the player.
    so i thought it was the driver problem since the media library i could access just fine. so i kept the original driver but installed all the new software (mediasource, nomad explorer, nomad zen plugin for mediasource).
    guess what? the accesing proble appeard again. i think that the better solution is to stick to the original software.
    and one last find. after the E firmware adveture, i experince what other are and was praing not to happen to me. the battery is lasting much much short period. and the green light if you look carefully is fluctuating in intensity. this was not happening until i burn the new E firmware. .0.02e. now after the rebuild os and writng a firmware it displays .0.02 without the E. the sound is like before. 24 damages your ears but the battery problem stills persit. it driving me crazy.

  • NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra file recovery from working harddri

    My USB port on my NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra is basically non-functional. The drive works fine so i'm not trying to recover "corrupted" files, just ones that exist on the drive... Is there any way I can access the files on the hard drive directly if I remove it from my Nomad Is there any way to use a hard drive connector (from a USB case) where the board plugs into the drive and the other end connects via USB to my computer (which has my Nomad software on it's) As the USB connector on the Nomad isn't working, is there any way i can get my music off the drive
    Thanks!

    Does this happen with all tranfers or any certain audio files? Have you try reinstalling the driver or try running Cleanup in Rescue mode.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen NX and WMP

    As many other devices and users, I have problem after upgrading to WMP. Whenever I connect my trusty Nomad Jukebox Zen NX (30GB) I get message saying "your device is using an outdated driver that is no longer supported by windows media player". I have latest fw and drivers so that is not an issue. By checking Creative pages it seems as they won't be creating new drivers for this device meaning I'm stuck.
    I don't use Creative tools to rip and feed player because I lost CD few years ago and since I reinstalled Windows. I was not able to get software from support then so I decided to stick to WMP. Now, MS doesn't won't to support it as it seems.
    Are there any alternati'ves or suggestions?

    What I did was to uninstall WMP, rescan library to add new albums that were originally scanned with WMP and that did the trick as I was rolled back to WMP0. I would however wish to have working solution with WMP.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen NX 20GB locking up

    I just bought a Nomad Jukebox Zen NX off a friend and it worked fine last night. I transferred 800 songs onto it and then deleted them all this morning so I could re-organize. Now it's locked up. Doesn't matter if I use battery power or AC power. It turns on fine, goes straight to the menu and then nothing. The scroll won't work, my laptop won't recognize it or anything. Any ideas? Thanks

    I assume you've got the manual, yes? It probably needs to be reset, and/or have the firmware reinstalled (the manual is online, so you can do that). Find a pin or paperclip, and hit the rest button. Should probably fix it. Worst case scenario, you can wipe the dri've and reinstall the firmware. I believe you hit the reset button and hold down the play button till it gets you to the menu with the reformat/rescue stuff.
    If your computer still won't recognize it after that, though I'm not sure. I'm having similar problems with my refurbished Zen Touch.

  • Help, my nomad jukebox Zen wont go past the EAX opening scr

    my nomad jukebox Zen wont go past the EAX opening screen, it freezes for about a minute on the eax screen then goes to rescue mode.
    none of the choices on the rescue mode seem to help get me past this problem.
    Any help out there will be hugely appreciated?

    You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net at your OWN RISK. If you don't want to try this or are under warranty then contact Creative Support.
    If you aren't under warranty you can contact Creative Support to see if they will repair it. If you want to try repairing it yourself, taking the risk the hard disk is at fault, then you can follow Rudi Cheow's excellent guide. There's also a thread here at the Zen Nomadness.net forum on compatible dri'ves, and the last page of Rudi's guide also has information on this.

  • No driver found - Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - WinXP

    I have used my Zen Xtra for over 2 years now, with the same PC I am currently having problems with. I recently had to do a complete reinstall of Windows (note that I have done at least 2 other complete reinstalls during the life of my Zen Xtra, with no problems). Windows Device Managers sees the NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, but with the yellow question mark and exclamation point. Each attempt at driver installation results in the same problem. The driver ("JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE") installs completely, I'm told to reconnect my device so the driver can take effect. When I do, the device is still marked in Device Manager with exclamation point and yellow question mark, and Windows continues to ask if it can find and install the driver. I have told it not to (knowing that I just installed Creative's own driver), with no success, and other times let Windows try to install the driver (hoping it would find the Creative driver that was just installed). No luck. I have even done another complete reinstall of Windows, and tried to install the driver before any other program or hardware installations into my system. No luck. Note that there are no hardware changes between now and when I have done other complete Windows reinstallations. It just no longer accepts the Creative driver. I have also tried to install the driver in safe mode, with the same results. I have also completely removed the Zen Xtra (showing hidden devices in the Device Manager), and tried to reinstall. Firmware version of Zen Xtra was upgraded over a year ago to 2.0.03.
    Specifics:
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    38GB free hard dri've space
    Zen Xtra firmware version: 2.0.03

    I have the same problem. But when i try to installl it it says he is missing an .nfo file.
    I removed WMP and reinstalled WM0 because is crap.
    I have Windows XP SP2
    I have the newst firmware on it.
    Can somebody help me with this because it's annoying not to put any new music on your mp3 player.
    I never experienced this before even after formatting my HD.
    Almost the same problem as fritzm but not completely because het gets an different error.
    I have installed the CD but that doesnt work either.
    I have installed the software from the website but that didnt help because he doesnt recognize my player.
    Please help!!

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60 GB can't be found through Mediasource Organizer

    I have been using the Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra HDD Player since a few years and I have always been satisfied. But recently, I had a massi've computer problem, forcing me to do a complete re-install of Windows XP, without the chance to backup my old XP.
    So of course I also needed to reinstall the Nomad Player. However, since I can't find the CD-Rom with the driver, I had to download (almost) everything.
    At first I installed the drivers of the player and then I installed the Nomad Explorer (I still had that one on an old HDD). When I start the Nomad Explorer, the player connects and I can see the music that is stored on the player.
    However, in the past I never used the Nomad Explorer, I always used Media Source Organizer. I think in the past I had Version 3 and later I updated it to Version 5. So now I went for Version instantly. I downloaded it and installed it. But here it starts to get strange. I closed the Nomad Explorer and disconnected the player, then I installed the Organizer. During the installation, I was told that the organizer can't find any supported devices, I should connect and start the player and try again. So I did. This time, the installation finished itself - but when I startet Media Organizer, it couldn't find my player.
    I once read something like that you need at least Windows Media Player 0 or . Since I had 9, I installed 0, but that didn't change a thing.
    So, does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong ? Or maybe I forgot to install some normal Windows stuff, that is required by Media Organizer ? For example, I haven't installed DirectX yet (but I tell you that just as an example, I don't think that it's DirectX related)

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra stops working with XP following Windows Media Player 11 Beta Installat

    Yesterday I was very pleased to find that my Creative Zen Xtra (model DAP-HD00) portable media player is a PlaysForSure capable device. Creative Labs, on November 9, 2005, released the Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware v2.0.03. I installed this firmware (I had to install the Creative ZenJukebox Driver v.30.03 first to get Windows to recognize the device). Once the firmware was upgraded, Windows began recognizing the Zen Xtra as a MTP device and life was good. I was able to synchronize it with both Napster To Go and Windows Media Player 0.
    After this, I went ahead and installed Windows Media Player Beta, which I just downloaded yesterday as well.
    From a functional standpoint, WMP seems to run just fine. However, when I connected the Creative Zen Xtra (with its PlaysForSure firmware), Windows redetected the hardware. It first showed "Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra" in the tooltip, followed by "MTP Device" in the new hardware tooltip. Finally, Windows announced that there was a problem installing my new hardware and that it may not work properly.
    Sure enough, when I went into Device Manager, my Zen Xtra was showing as an MTP Device with an exclamation point on it. More specifically, it specified the status of, "This device cannot start (Code 0)."
    Prior to the installation of Windows Media Player, the Creative Zen Xtra showed in device manager with the following characteristics under the heading "Windows Portable Devices":
    Name: NOMAD Jukebox Zen XtraDriver Version: 5.2.0.0 dated 8/30/2004Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
    Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.3802.3802 built by dnsrv(bld4act)
    Windows Media Player changed this to the following (the device now shows up under "Portable Devices"):
    Name: MTP DeviceDriver Version: 5.2.5326.4762 dated 2/22/2006Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
    Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.5358.4827 (WMP_.060509-2009)C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys - v6.0.5348.0(winmain(wmbla).0604-339)
    The file wudfrd.sys is NOT digitally signed in this case.
    As of now, my Zen Xtra is completely unusable on this system, and I need to sync it with my laptop for the time being, which still has WMP 0 installed on it.
    Is this a bug with WMP beta? Is it a problem with my firmware? Since this is PlaysForSure compliant firmware, and it worked flawlessly with Napster and WMP 0 (before the MTP driver was updated), it would seem to be a WMP beta issue. I'd like to hear more official confirmation on the subject, however.
    Some general details about my system are:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2Verified GENUINE Microsoft operating system using Genuine Advantage ValidationIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, Hyper-Threaded processor2.00 GB RAM
    Windows Media Player Version: .0.5358.4827Napster Version: 3.6.0.7 (US)
    Any recommendations? Fixes? Some have suggested rolling back the WMP installation, but I would like to consider this option only as an absolute last resort.
    Best regards,Matt

    Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
    I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
    After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
    Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
    Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
    Thanks.

  • NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra 30gb dri

    Hiya,
    Sorry if its been asked before, but I installed a new Windows Vista 64bit about a month ago and since then I've searched all over the net trying to find a working driver that will allow me to transfer all of my music that I've collected over the years from my NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra30gb to my PC.
    It worked fine with XP, but I need a 64bit driver for the USB connector.
    Does anyone know where I can download a working driver?
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks
