Keep the menu button held down for a good 10 seconds or so after you've plugged the cable in.

PS - This is the wrong place to post this question.

sorry, i didnt know where to post =(
As well i held it for even half a minute, just as soon i release menu it goes to disk mode =(( maybe some of the settings are responsible for that? Any help?

oh by the way, it works only with playback or i cant scrolljust need to go straight to playback? well anyways it reacts differently, sometimes it goes to disk mode right away, sometimes it takes for  like 10 seconds ... what could be wrong?

ok, tryed to go straight to playback, doesnt make any difference .. it goes straight to disk mode ....

I tryed to turn on that two modes car mode and some other mode sepperetly and together nothing helps, it still goes to disk mode =(( So what should i do?

Logically i tyed everything that i could gues off, but nothing helps me solve the problem =( Any ideas?

I've never tried this from car mode - so can't comment. What other mode do you mean ?

Charge during USB connection, well i understand that it's not that but stil tryed =)
So what should i do? I hold menu for 10 secs or even more, after i try to scroll to playback and it starts Disk Mode, not always right away, sometimes i\m able to get to playback and start playing music, but little bit later it turns Disk Mode, so what should i do to connect to PC and listen to music or whatever, Holding down Menu doesn't helps =(

Ok, i don't get it ... It worked fine ... Now it started again ... I didn't change anything just today it started again doing the same^ but for now the time is 15 seconds exactly i counted and it doesn't meter how long do i hold menu, if i hold more than 15 seconds just whenever i release menu it reboots to disk mode ....
