Sansa E200
Vista Ultimate 32bit

Heres my problem
When I connect my sansa to the computer, it boots into the sandisk firmware (as expected), and says "Connected' on the screen. This is alright, and I can safely remove it. However, If I modify absoulately anything on the players drive (even rename a file), it will change the file accordingly, but the screen will still say "writing".  No matter how long I leave it plugged in, it never leaves this screen. I cannot safely remove the player when it is "writing". The only way I can (and have been) putting songs on and off the player is to just unplug it.  :o


I think it may be related to vista, but it shouldnt be as Sandisk says all over their site that its Vista compatible, and noone else is having problems. Also, could I have it in the wrong USB mode, which would cause this problem?

Im lost here guys...

GodEater:
As far as I can tell there are very few Vista users on the forums. And it wouldn't surprise me at all that Vista is causing you these problems. There's a reason loads of people have gone back to XP you know ;)

brownbox:
that cant be good  :(

Mad Cow:
Well with flash storage nothing should get damaged when simply unplugging if you're not reading or writing.

I'm using Vista Ultimate, and the same thing happens when my dad plugs his Sansa in.
