Recovery tool for ZEN Sleek Ph

I have trouble shot my Zen Sleek photo and need a Recovery tool for it, but there is none on the Creative Website. Where do I get one or is there another method to revi've it from Recovery mode? Please Reply ASAP

#Hi,
I don't think it's supported since the ZEN Style is not in the list yet. You can find the firmware here.

Recovery Tool for Zen Style 300

|I expect to receive a Zen Style 300 today and have been reading up on support and potential issues. I have enjoyed using?two Zen V Plus but often had to relaod firmware. The web page for the Zen Style 300 shows the recovery tool but it is not listed as a device supported by the recovery tool. Can someone claridy whether or not I can use the recovery tool? if needed?

Error: You have more than one Creative players connected. - Recovery Tool for ZEN

My Zen 4GB cannot be turned on anymore after a failed firmware upgrade (The installation hung up). I tried to run the firmware upgrade executable file again but the player must be on. So I tried to hardware reset by switching the power slide on while pressing the play button, but it still doesn't start. I downloaded and ran the Recovery Tool while the player was connected, but an error message appeared: "ERROR: You have more than one Creative players connected. Please remove all but one, click "OK" to exit and then run this program again." - There was no other players connected but the ZEN. Please help... What can I do

I have this very exact same problem with the same model. Did you ever find a solution to this?

Are there any recovery tools for optical media?

I've had a couple of DVD's turned in to coasters recently and I was hoping that Linux could come to my rescue with some awesome 'raw-read' / recovery tools for optical media?
I burnt the discs in Windows 7 using InfraRecorder on a brand new Plextor drive (a 'PX-891SA') and these are my first attempts to burn discs with it so I'm a bit worried it could be a hardware fault!
I started off trying to back up some files to clear some space on my hard-drive, burning them to a dual-layer dvd, but the software kept failing to even start the burn process -- that was until I realised that I needed to run the program "as Administrator" (in Windows). It did then manage to burn the disc (I was using "Session-at-Once" mode) however when it came to the end of the burn process / the start of the 'verify data' phase it threw an error saying the write process had failed! Windows couldn't access the disc / data and (I think) still thought the disk was empty. So I restarted the burning application and used a function to just 'close' the whole disc. This seemed to work because Windows was then able to recognise the disc and read the data, although accessing the disc was slow and sounded 'stutter' ish.
I then tried to write a single layer dvd to finish off the last couple of gig I had to back up, but again the software completed the burn phase only to report a 'fail' error right at the end (I'm assuming) before finalising the disc. Although this time I'd tried to create a multi-session disc by using the '2XXA' (or something) 'Multi-Session' iso9660 format. The result was that Windows couldn't read the disc and still thought it was empty, even after trying a forced 'close disc' operation! -- Linux however could read the disc and see that the data had in fact been burnt to the disc (although I've not yet tried copying it in Linux!).
Finally I needed to burn a load of archives to a couple of discs (totaling ~9GiB) -- starting with a dual-layer dvd first everything seemed to be working fine, the burn process started okay and the write buffer was full etc., until at what I assume was the layer change-over it all came to a grinding halt and threw another 'write operation failed' error, only this time I can't even mount the disk in Linux....see 'dmesg | tail' output below:
[ 5758.353005] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
[ 5758.353015] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
[ 5758.353016] ISOFS: File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1472).
[ 5758.353019] ISOFS: changing to secondary root

[ 5758.353037] isofs_fill_super: root inode is not a directory. Corrupted media?
Does anyone have any thought or suggestions that might help?
- Is it likely to be a hardware fault? (I bought a Plextor because I thought they were one of the best!)
Maybe even if I could just close the session all would not be lost?

@chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
...the other folders did copy okay though!
It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
@ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
@alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
Thanks for the help!
(pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

Ipod cable/accessories for Zen sleek

I don't know why Creative decide to use a new connection for Zen Sleek instead of the standard mini 5 pin USB2 connection.
While looking for a new cable (and a compact car charger) for my new Zen Sleek, I noticed that the new Philips HD MP3 player and all Ipod seem to have the same kind connection.
Have anyone attempted to use Ipod cable on Zen Sleek? It seems that most after market accessories are made for Ipod so it would be very very nice if Zen Sleek uses the same connection. Perhaps I am day dreaming.

OK, don't get caught by this - there's a company that specializes in travel & replacement cables for cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players. Their name is Gomadic, and they have a very slick system - there's a standard USB male on one end and a receptacle like a mini-headphone receptacle on the other. You can get a very wide variety of end-connectors that plug into that receptacle and mate with just about anything you can think of. They claimed to have the connector for the Sleek, and I ordered it. However, when I got it, the end connector was a standard mini-USB male. I called them and they said "oops!" They just found out that Creative put this oddball connector on the Sleek while all the rest of Creative's players use the mini-USB. I can still use the thing for my camera and some other stuff though. They told me to keep it and gave me full credit on my credit card because of the error. So, I guess if you want a free travel connector for any of your kit that uses a mini-USB, order the cable for the Sleek from them before they correct their website!

Are there any CD/DVD recovery tools for Mac?

In the good old days (??) of windows I had a plethora of handy recovery tools for rescuing data of scratched or damaged CD/DVD.
Recovery utilities is one area where the Mac community seems to fall flat - I've spent an hour looking and can't find anything remotely like IsoBuster or the other tools I used to enjoy...
If I ran those Windows tools under Parallels, do you think they would be able to diagnose a CD in the iMac's superdrive?
Any thoughts?
Steve

Yes (I second that motion...)
Isobuster will work in windows on a virtual machine or in windows booted from a boot camp partition.

Backup and recovery tool for oracle 9ias

I was asked to look at a bunch of old servers still in use that is using oracle 9.0.2.3 application server.
I noticed that there is no proper backup in place on this server. In oracle 10g application we have the backup/recovery tool to perform backups. Does anyone know if such a tool exist for oracle 9ias?
Thank you.

dmctl have an option to backup the configuration only, I dont remember if that's available for that version,but you can check running dcmctl command without parameters, it would show a big list.
If dont, best way is making a cold backup, stop all process, make backup and start process. Remember to start proceses using dcmctl command, not opmnctl.
Greetings.

AS Backup and Recovery Tool for HA environment

If there I have three nodes that are running SOA suite is it necessary to back each node fully or can I backup one of the AS in full and all the other incremental?
Are there any documents out there that describe the "Best Practice"? I have already read AS Backup Recovery tool and its strategy and it doesn't cover the HA environment backup strategy. Please advice.

As a lot of information in various xml files is host dependent I would stick to a backup per host scheme.
