a very weird thing just happend.... after not messing with my mp3 player in a long time i decided to try to see if it would connect to my pc.. the gigabeat started loading (with the usb cable connected to it) and about half way, it goes to a different screen saying "Bootloader USB Mode" and my PC installed the drivers correctly and i restarted my computer.. when i logged back onto my pc and went into my computer, i saw the drive (G:\) and tried to access it, i got an error: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." So I tried right clicking the drive so I could go to properties, but when I right clicked, My Computer froze for about 5 minutes and when it unfroze the right click menu didn't show up so I tried again, and it froze again. I disconnected the mp3 player by first doing the 'safely disconnect' thing at the bottom right. I then turned the mp3 player off. Turned it back on and now it won't connect to the pc anymore.
now, what makes me confused is, why would it start working after it not working for a week?.. now its doing the same thing before where it doesn't load at all and my pc doesn't read it anymore.
i got my hopes all high and stuff, and then my hopes dropped back down. damn technology!
