Reload firmware: how does it wo

I am stuck on the Recovery Mode.
When I select Reload firmware, a message announces that firmware is being erased. I hear lots of disk noises... Then I get a Hard Dri've error.
What do I have to do before clicking on Reload Firmware?
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help. Thanks.

There's no special sequence, you just select reload firmware.
Based on all your other problems, and now the hard dri've errors, your player must be faulty. As you've already contacted supported you could wait for a response from them, or phone them on Monday to escalate it, so that you can get the player replaced.

How to reload firmware for MTP dev

I upgrade my firmware to v2.0 and then my Micro froze and stayed in "recovery mode" no matter what i do. My Windows now recognize it as a "windows portable device" instead of under "USB". However
Window MediaPlayer complain about the device not connected. Even worse looks like the firmware update .exe only works for '"USB device," I cant reload firmware to my Micro.BTW, as soon as I upgrade firmware initially and reboot, it says firmware problem and stayed in "recovery mode".
Looks like every one who tries this firmware 2.0 ends up having a dead Micro. Think Creative should address this problem and either issue a patch online or voluntary repair all Micro for free whether they are under warranty or not.

I have a similar problem with my Zen Touch. During a firmware upgrade to PlayForSure, Windows detected the Zen Touch as a new MTP Device. It then prompted me to install the necessary software for this device, I selected "install automatically" but Windows XP failed to do this.
I am now stuck with my Zen having no functional firmware at all, and every time I connect it to the PC the "Found New Hardware Wizard" prompts me to install software for the new MTP Device. This fails every time.
Running the update firmware exe file always tells me that my Zen is not connected to the computer. Even though it is.
What can I do? How do I get the firmware updater to see my player?

As Terence said you're experiencing a kernel panic. Boot into your System install disk and launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window. Repair the disk. If DU finds problems and runs repairs do it a second time and then reboot.

Reload Firmware Kills Mi

After hours of perusing these boards, and finding dozens of people with the same problem, I am amazed that someone doesn't just spell out one simple fact here: If you use the "Reload Firmware" command on the 'recovery' menu, you have an expensi've paper-weight.
Why on earth would someone choose that dangerous command in the first place? Because the 'beta' firmware that is needed for Napster-to-Go doesn't work right. Any notion of getting rid of the beta firmware, and going back to the original is a myth. Once you blow up the firmware, there is no way you are going to bring the Zen Micro back from the dead.
Once the firmware is gone: your PC will not recognize that you have the unit connected; you will never again see any other menu BUT the recovery menu; and you will never be able to upgrade the firmware of a unit that is not recognized by the computer. You can try it on as many PC's as you like (I tried two others as some suggested, all with completely up to date XP SP2's, with WMP 0, and all updates), you can change USB ports to your heart's delight -- but this one simple fact is not going to change: if you killed the firmware the unit is unusable.
Why on earth isn't this all-important fact in the 'special' messages at the top of the forum? Why did I have to spend 2 hours of digging to find out many others have been forced to return their unit for this problem?
I would like to hereby challenge the Creative folks who are on this forum: why don't you just take a dozen Zen Micro's, click on the Reload Firmware command, and then tell us step by step how to bring them back to life. Obviously it can't be done, or you would have already posted such instructions; so why not post a warning not to use that command prominently on this board?

Jason,
In response to your reply to my post about the Zen Micro being inoperable after using the "Reload Firmware" command:
Yes - the Zen Micro worked for about 5 days after receiving it, although the software was buggy as hell interacting with Napster to Go, which was the only thing that made me buy the Zen in the first place. I would never have installed the 'beta' firmware, except that there was no way to use Napster without it.
No - the computer is not 'having a connection problem' as you suggested. I fell for that line of reasoning, and spent hours putting it on 3 computers (up to date with the latest updates) - but just as someone else replied here, if there is no firmware on the ZM it is NOT recognized by ANY computer.
Your message does not make it clear whether you did a reload firmware command on a unit that already had MTP firmware 2..02, as I and many others have tried to do. The fact of the matter is that you can launch the firmware install program, but it stops dead in its tracks and says it cannot detect the player.
Against my better judgment, I have asked Amazon for a replacement unit to be sent instead of a refund. I do not have high hopes that another unit won't also be unstable with the beta firmware - although at least this time I will avoid the "Reload Firmware" command like the plague. If it weren't for the Outlook sync feature, I would have gone to another brand until the Napster-Zen Micro deal is ready for prime time.
I still feel users on this board should be warned more prominently about the high likelihood of killing their zen if they use the reload firmware command. I have read countless other posts on this board that have gone through exactly the same experience, and have ended up either replacing or returning their units. Had such a warning been clearly posted, I would still have a working unit, as I read through hundreds of posts before and right after the purchase, and could have been forewarned not to attempt a firmware reload.

Debugging mode in server - How does it work?

Hi
How does debugging mode in a server work ?
Is the code compiled line by line as we proceed or how ?
When we make a code change how is the hot code replaced when in debug mode and why not in normal run mode?
Why is it not necessary to restart a server when we make changes to jsp when in normal mode?
Thanks in Advance

How does debugging mode in a server work ?Just like in any othe rprogram.
Then how is it possible to change the values when
the program is running . i.e. we have a option that
we can change the values right !!
Because the debug api allows you to do that.
>
s the code compiled line by line as we proceedor
how ?
No. Line number information is stored in the.class
file, and the editor simply displays the line the
bytecode mentions. Whether bytecode and sourcecode
match is a different thing.
I had previously read that the compiler compiles
the code with break points at the beginning of every
class (for step by step method)
I agree with Rene. It happensthat you debug with the wrong source code and you will in that case notice that the debugger is saying that you are executing a line between methods.

>
When we make a code change how is the hot code
replaced when in debug mode and why not innormal
run
mode?I guess the executed bytecode for a method issimply
replaced in memory... the entry point was probably
stored and will be used to re-set to method entry
before running the new bytecode.
Then why is it not done when we are running the
server in the normal mode.
Why would it? What code should it replace it with?
>
>
Why is it not necessary to restart a server when
we
make changes to jsp when in normal mode?
Because the server can notice the change andunload
and reload the class.
I meant that when the jsp is compiled the servlet
is created when i run the server right.(i'm not
sure).
So when I change the code and without restarting the
server I run a jsp file it reflects the changes...
HOW??
Because some servlet runners can be configured to check changes on disk, and recompile if needed.

How does Full Update works in BI 7.0???

Dear Experts,
I have a question on BI 7.0 Full Updtae.. How does it works exactly... My question is am loading data from Flat-file as a Full Update... Once If load the data through infopackage.. As we all knew dat. It brings the data to PSA.. later when i run the DTP it gets loaded into Data Targert.. Suppose if wanna load the same file with few changes.. Should i delete the request from PSA.. If not, Itz getting updated with duplicate records.. Suppose, If i delete the request from PSA and reload the same file with changes.. Then itz getting loaded successfully...
Kindly reply to my query.. Answering getz appreciated...
Regards,
Hemanth Aluri

Delta DTP fetches unloaded requests only assuming you have started off with a delta DTP.
Only changed records in the flatfile may not be loaded as DTP fetches all data in the new request into target.
Can you stage a DSO ..will the overwrite functionality suit your business needs?

You can start off with a delta DTP.
Or
Run a pseudo DTP after the Full DTP for deltas to follow.
Or
Delete the request in the source if you are using Full DTP.

How Does A File Get Damaged or Corrupted?

After a recent installation of OS 10.4.8 and Office for Mac on my friend's G4 AGP (Sawtooth) all ran well for a week or so. Then suddenly Word and Excel wouldn't open. Got error message. Attempts to reload Office provided another error message.
The core of these error messages was that there was a "Shared library error (Carbonlib)". From the MS support site we were advised that "This problem may occur if the CarbonLib file in Mac OS X is damaged or is corrupted." The recommended actions were to Repair Disk Permission and do a restart. If that didn't work, Archive and Install OS X again.
Well, even Archive and Install didn't go well, so we ended up doing an erase and install. Now everything is running well again.
My question is, considering the pain involved in fixing the problem, how does a working OS and its files get damaged or corrupted in one week of light use? If there is something we need to pursue to ensure this doesn't happen again, I'd sure like to know what it is.
Thanks in advance.

How does CEF perform equal and unequal cost load balancing?

hello
How does CEF perform equal and unequal cost load balancing?
thanks

Hello Wang,
it is only EIGRP that can perform load balancing over unequal cost links.
For equal cost links CEF allocates 16 buckets and maps them to the the physical links.
the result of a binary operation is used to associated a packet to an outgoing interface:
Source IP address EXOR DEstination IP Address EXOR hash
the hash is a seed that changes only at every reload.
Actually the last 4 bits are used so that each flow can be classified in one bucket.
then the outgoing interface is the one asscociated to the result of the exor operation.
Another way to see is that m bits are used so that 2^m is equal to N number of links (if N is even)
the rule is simple and pre-established
Hope to help
Giuseppe

How does iWeb 08 compaire to RapidWeave or Sandvox?

How does iWeb 08 compaire to RapidWeave or Sandvox? I am very concerned about iWeb having to reload everything each time, sort of like MicroSoft Publisher producing website. I am also concerned how that effects your Google rankings by putting all new pages up and it looks like I would have to reinstall my Google Analytics every time I update my website? If you can also recommend any site for compairing the three products I woud appreciate it.
Big Thanks

Reload Firmware = R.I

HELP... I tried to load 2..02 and the load hung and never finished. So I went into recovery and tried the reload firmware option and now my Micro shows firmware v0.0.58 and will not leave recovery mode. when you power off the micro, it says firmware problem. When you try to reload the firmware, I get the message that the player is not connected. I have reloaded the software, tried another usb port even tried other computers. Is my shiny somewhat new micro dead for ever?

It does sound bad unfortunately.
The 0.0.58 is the rescue mode version, and doesn't relate directly to the firmware version.
All you can do is try entering rescue mode, hit the firmware reload option, then connect it to the PC and try the latest v2 or v firmware. If neither of these work, and you have tried another PC (which will need to have Win XP and WMP0 installed as the v2 firmware was the last installed) then your next option is to contact support.

How does systemn determin pricing procedure of billing type

How does system determinate pricing procedure of F2???????????????????
By doc.pric.proc? but in IMG, it is empty!!!
and I don't think it is reference sales order's pricing procedure
because if you use OR + TAN, the reference document of billing is delivery order!!!!!!

Hi zhang
In pricing procedure determination OVKK , whatever DuPP you maintain that is linked to Billing document
In VOV8 we can see the CuPP of the document . so if the DuPP is linked to CuPP in OVKK then the same pricing procedure will be flowing to billing document also . Apart from that in VOV8 also make sure that , in billing data you are maintaining the billing type

In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ??? How does one email a pages document.

How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from.

Sounds like you are using Gmail.
Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

How does Creative Cloud from teams work with staff who work in two locations i.e. in the office and home?

There is no difference please be aware that each login is provided with two activations however. If you wish to have a computer at both work and home activated though that is perfectly fine as long as your employer is ok with using company software at home.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:
