Zen Neeon 6GB (Micro-HD Version) Setup for New Harddisk

Dear all Zen Buddy,
My Zen Neeon have been with me for more than 4 years, and recently just drop from table and has death certified.
I have bought a 4gb hd new brain for it, hope anyone of you can please guide me possible to install it from scratch?

Dorothy,
Congratulations!!!
You have worked hard to select a strong build and tuned the system well. Your system seems to perform VERY well and you certainly have not broken the bank to get to that level.
I just checked PPBM5's site and your are #2 on the CS6 list performance board. So, I don't think that you need to do much else; it is time to put the PC to work! Also agree PPBM5 is a great tool - thanks Harm and Bill!!!
Regarding the Areca, I don't think that it would get you much more speed unless you added more drives. I do love having mine, but it is more for the security of the redundant parity RAID protecting me from any data loss if a single drive were to die.
And finally, I can't imagine not being on the www; you should probably get a good virus protection and get back on. I would not expect that with as much CPU power and RAM as you have that virus protection (set up correctly) would impact you performance in any noticeable way.
Regards,
Jim

  • Zen Neeon 6GB (USB Probl

    Hi,
    I bought a zen neeon 6gb a few days ago. There were no problems at first but now.......
    When I plug it into my laptop, it's as if nothing was plug in!
    Same thing when I used the desktop in my office, I've changed another usb cable, I've pushed the reset button & nothing seems to work. Downloaded "Zen Neeon Firmware .0", also didn't work.
    So what now? I'm still waiting for the support team to reply my email.

    Does the player turn on, or doesn't it respond at all? Was the battery run down all the way?
    Regarding your e-mail, did you use the form on the website, and did get an auto-response back? You should always get an automated e-mail back with some tips, if they don't help, check over the e-mail as you generally need to reply to that to let them know, so someone will deal with you directly.

  • Zen Neeon 6GB, charging via AC Adapt

    I have Zen Neeon 6GB player. When I connect my player to Creative's AC charging adapter there is no indiacation of charging. But when I connect it to my computer's usb port the battery icon flashes. Is it charging or not?

    It appears that generic usb chargers do not work properly with the micro photo.
    It has to do something with the micro photo's usb jack not being entirely compatible with them. The device isnt recieving enough power using these chargers.
    I tried quite a few, none worked.
    It seems that if the micro photo isnt pulsing, its not being charged properly.
    When I connect it to my dvd player through usb, it does indeed pulse and charges at normal speed.
    I'm afraid that the only way is to buy the original charger from creative...

  • Zen Neeon 6GB..... DEAD

    Hope somebody can help out here, I'm at my wits end!
    Got my new Zen Neeon 6GB one week ago. Installed all the software, hooked the player up to a USB port, charged it up, and had a few days of problem-free listening.
    The battery was very low this morning so I hooked it up to a USB to recharge. Only this time my laptop will not recognise the device at all! It does not come up as an extra dri've on my "My Computer", and it is nowhere to be found on any device list.
    To make things worse the battery is so low that the player will not switch on at all. So basically what it does is:
    When connected to the laptop the word "Creative" appears on the display, but with no backlights, and no other button has any effect at all. The device is not read anywhere, and apart from the Creative logo could be considered dead as a dodo.
    When not connected to the laptop, I push the on button, the Creative logo appears very briefly, followed by a very quick glimpse of the "battery needs recharging" symbol, then it cuts off completely. No other button has any effect.
    I have reset the player a couple of times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the softwear, and still no joy. I am really cheesed off that this kinda thing is happeneing only a week after buying it, I had been told that Creative were reliable?
    Anyway, any help would be very gratefully received.
    Merry Christmas!

    I have used Zen Neeon 6GB for the last 2 years untill a few months ago. I do not remember having any issues connecting to the computer. But I do know that when you connect, you don't need to turn it on via the on button. It the connection is auto detected and the player turns on on its own. Sometimes computers can't detect devices you might want to try disconnecting and connecting again (I know this may not be your case). You should get the charger to charge it via socket, it is much more efficient and less troublesome. You could also try connecting to other computers. You may also try posting this problem on PC Help forums to seek advice on device detection, they would likely be able to help.

  • Zen Neeon 6gb - audio blips after changeing

    hey, i have had my Zen Neeon 6gb since the 24th of June, up untill about two weeks ago i was running Windows ME , the player was working fine, just recentaly i have changed OS to Windows XP professional and now, whenever i copy a song onto my player, it has really annoying audio blips and skips in every single track. Most of the music on my new computer has been copyed off my other useing my player, and it all plays fine, its only when i goto play it on my player.
    Please Help, im really annoyed at this
    PS: i have tried re-installing drivers and formatting the player, i even have the latest firmware, nothing is working!!!Message Edited by mischala on 2-02-200607:2 PM

    I had the same problem. I was using the zen neeon as a mobile dri've (as in, copying stuff over to it through windows explorer). If you use the creative mediasource application to copy music to the player instead, it solves the audio blip problem completely. I hate having to use the software when the dri've is accessible in explorer but at least it isn't as annoying as itunes.

  • Zen neeon 6GB problem

    Hai
    I have a Zen Neeon 6GB and Iam frequently facing malfunctioning of the player. Sometimes the player is generating heat and the total battery is going to dry. i used it until it was out of battery and went to charge it up on my computer, i plug it into my USB cable, and when i looked at the screen all i get is the "CREATIVE" logo, it wont change.. i unplug it and try to turn it on, i either get the 'no battery' symbol and it switches off, or usually i jus get the 'CREATIVE' logo and it just sits there.. this is VERY frustrating and i hope theres something that can be done
    Please help me.

    There is no "replace" battery warning, Because of the type of battery it is when they are to the point of needing replacement the main sign besides not holding a charge or short battery time usage is heat. As electronics go heat is not your friend. I have not seen any instructions on how to open your player but if you Google it you may find some. The only way to find out what battery you need to replace is to get it open to look at it since it is an internal one.http://www.batteryuni'versity.com/parttwo-34.htm I don't know if this will help much no pictures. http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...09&postcount=8

  • ZEN NEEON 6GB - SNR changed to 98

    Recently, Creative had added a 6GB Zen Neeon to their Mp3-player segment. I noticed that the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of this new player has changed from 90 dB to 98 db! Is this a fault on the new specifications page, or was this intended? (so, the new Zeeon has a new sound chip in it or something?)
    My questions to Creative:
    Is the SNR of the Zen Neeon really 98 db?</LI>
    Is the new 6GB Zen Neeon still laggy as the Neeon 5GB in menus, or less laggy?</LI>
    Thank you for your reply!

  • Zen Neeon 6GB Prob

    Hey guys, I recently got a Zen Neeon for christmas, It was working BRILLIANTLY without error up until yesterday, i used it until it was out of battery and went to charge it up on my computer, i plug it into my USB cable, and when i looked at the screen all i get is the "CREATIVE" logo, it wont charge.. i unplug it and try to turn it on, i either get the 'no battery' symbol and it switches off, or usually i jus get the 'CREATIVE' logo and it just sits there.. this is VERY frustrating as i cannot li've without my mp3 player (seriously).. Thanks for your time.. i hope theres something that can be done,Neil

    Do you lose all your songs if you reset it's And is the reset button the little hole under the 'hold' button?
    Yes the little hole next to the hold switch is the reset button. You can use a pin or needle to press it down. However, don't jab it too hard like I did because I think I sort of dislodged the button. But it still works.. for now. And no you shouldn't lose any of your songs. Although the first time I reset my Neeon the music folder I was in it caused problems. It wouldn't delete and when I tried to access it on my player, the player froze. But that is just another problem altogether.
    If I remember correctly there is some firmware update for the Neeon that reduces chances of freezing, and should be downloadable from somewhere on this website.
    I found that freezing occurred the most when it was used for a long time, or when it heated up in hot weather or in my pocket.
    Hope that helped!

  • Creative Zen Neeon 6GB filesystem error on Li

    Hi there,
    First off, I have had no problem with the Zen Neeon in the past on Linux, has worked perfectly. However, now the mp3 player says it has a Filesystem error and shuts down. Is there anyway to format or fix this problem for Linux? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    Jeriko

    Well, good news. There is a simple way to fix my above problem if you're running Linux. Thought I better post it here incase someone has the same trouble. Simply open up your terminal and create a windows filesystem on the mp3 player device. For example, my mp3 player was dedicated to /dev/sda, you'd do this:
    mkdosfs /dev/sda
    And that should do it. Check the man page (man mkdosfs) for more info.
    Cheers,
    Jeriko

  • Optimal Setup for New Time Capsule with Wireless AC

    I'm curious to see what the hypotehtical optimal setup for my Time Capsule.  I understand that wireless speeds depend on a ton of factors and that part of getting the best connection is just trying different options.  I have a new Time Capsule that's connected to the following devices: iPhone 5S; new MacBook Air with wireless AC; old iMac from 2007; old AirPort Express that only supports b/g and a newish Apple TV that supports wireless N, I believe.  I was connecting to the network (which was not designated with the 5ghz) and I recently chose the option to label the 5ghz.  I'm using that now to stream music with the new iPhone and the Apple TV with no problems, but I have no longer have the option of using the old Airport express because it's an old one.  I'm thinking of just getting a new Airport Express and leaving it at that, but wanted to know if anyone has some thoughts on this.  I'm sure there's a more concise and direct way to ask this question, but my knowledge is pretty limited here.  Thanks in advance.

    The Time Capsule is already set up for optimal performance when you open up the box.
    You can assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network and point devices that are capable to that network. This works well if the device is located close to the Time Capsule.
    But, 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so once you move a room or two away, or the signal has to pass through several walls, the 2.4 GHz will be stronger.....and probably faster as well.
    But...your device will try to stay locked on the 5 GHz network since you set it up that way.
    This type of setup may or may not work best for you.  For most users, it is simpler and more effective to use the default settings on the Time Capsule to have both bands use the same network name.
    Then, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the signal with the best quality. Best quality may not be the fastest signal since there are lot of factors involved with signal quality. But, if you think about it a bit more, don't you want to have your wireless device connect to the signal with the best quality?
    Some users swear by assigning a separate name to the 5 GHz band. I'm not one of them, but If it works well for them and they are happy, then there is no reason to change.
    An older AirPort on your network is going to drag down the speeds. You need the new AirPort Express, or better yet an AirPort Extreme if you want to be able to extend the new 802.11ac signal.

  • Setups for new operating units not loading to target

    If there is a new operating unit in the source, setups for that operating unit do not seem to load into the target if that new operating unit does not exist in the target.
    Is there a script to address this issue?
    Any additional advice will be appreciated.
    Edited by: user11071661 on Apr 16, 2009 1:34 PM

    Hi,
    There are lot of dependencies between setup data that you are trying to load. Operating Unit depends on Accounting Setup which in turn depends on setups like Calendar, Currencies and Chart of Accounts. So, you have to make sure that you have loaded all prerequisite data before loading operating unit.
    Thanks

  • Have mac os x 10.4.11 I go threw setup for new acct brings me right back

    Need help, put info in for new acct, brings me back again to welcome pick my country done it now three times mac os x 10.4.11

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Let us know the outcome please.
    If DU found & fixed any errors, you may need to reinstall again.

  • Creative Zen Neeon 6gb Reset But

  • Questions on Marvell vs. intel Raid setup for new build

    I’m getting ready to do my first build this weekend, and had some questions on the Asus p9x79pro motherboard’s raid controllers.  They are:
    What is the difference between the Marvell controller and the intel software controller?
    Why would I use one over the other?
    Do the Marvell raid controllers need to be pre-installed using the F6 method, same as the intel raid controllers?
    Here is my planned drive arrangement, feedback appreciated.
    (1) Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)  - OS (win7 64 bit), pagefile, & programs,  6gb sata on SSD caching port
    (2) Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - RAID 0 Media and projects, 6b sata port
    (1) Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - media cache & renders
    (1) WB Black 32mb cache 3.0 Sata - Exports and non video file storage
    Asus BD burner on 3gb port
      Thanks

    What is the difference between the Marvell controller and the intel software controller?
    I haven't tested it, but rumors are that Intel is marginally faster than Marvell.
    Why would I use one over the other?
    It depends on the number of ports in your system. That can be motherboard dependent.
    Do the Marvell raid controllers need to be pre-installed using the F6 method, same as the intel raid controllers?
    No. You can define a raid after you installed your OS by simply going into the BIOS.
    On my motherboard, I have 2 Intel SATA 6 G ports and 2 Marvell SATA 6 G ports. The rest are SATA 3 G.
    If that is the same in your case, I would do the following:
    Crucial M4 on Intel SATA 6G
    WD Black on Intel SATA 6G
    2 x WD Black/64 on Marvell SATA 6G in raid0
    WD Black/32 on Intel SATA 3G
    DVD/BDR on Intel SATA 3G
    one SATA 3G for eSATA connection.

  • Best setup for new airport with wired connection to old airport extreme (4th gen)

    I have an AirPort Extreme (4th gen) in my basement (of a three story house) connected directly to the Fios box (I am not using the Verizon g router).  The new AirPort (ac) is connected to the old one by in-wall Cat 6e to an upstairs bedroom.  Can/should I turn off wifi on the n router for best wireless performance?  What would the optimal setup be?
    On the airport utility I selected "replace existing Airport" and the new ac router is up and running and working fine.  I wonder whether the fact that wifi on the old Airport is still on may be good for coverage around the house, but compromising the wireless bandwidth/speed?  I haven't noticed any speed issues yet, but I do a lot of video streaming so I want to ensure I have the best setup.  Range doesn't seem to be a major issue in my house.  It is more important to me to have strong wifi signal upstairs.
    Thanks in advance for advice.

    If the AirPorts are connected using Ethernet, then no bandwidth is being lost on the network. Keep the wireless functions "on" at both AirPorts for additional wireless coverage and speed.
