Gigabeat F20 and SYSTEM ERROR 00000001

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hmmm,

Well as you know we don't support unofficial builds, but I can't see any way an unofficial build could do this.  The first thing we need to do is get it to mount so you can check the disk for errors and the presence of the bootloader files.  If you cannot get past the gigabeat boot screen, I think you will have to try the recovery process.

Once you have tried that, try running  fsck.vfat on it.

2BigBambi: What do you mean "Once you have tried that, try running  fsck.vfat on it"?

AlexP:
Sorry, my mistake I thought you said you were on linux.  I'll change it for windows!

Once you have done the recovery trick and hopefully managed to get the gigabeat connected to your computer with a drive letter, you should run chkdsk /f /r on it from a command prompt, which will check for disk corruption.  fsck.vfat is the linux version.

One way to get the thing to show uo on the computer is this MAKRE SURE THE PLAYER IS TURNED OFF

1. take the backplate off
2. disconnect the hd
3. connect the gigabeat to the computer
4. turn the gigabeat on
5. it SHOULD say error 000024(i think) and will go into emergency disk mode
6. now connect the hd and it will come up on the computer as a disk
7. now if you are missing the files in the gbsystem folder replace them
EDIT: this is on the wiki page that BigBambi linked to....sorry

might be a dumb thing but also check to see that the hd is fat32

 Somehow I start formatting disk. About 30 minutes
HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool
(http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2006.04.12-HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool/)
was not corresponding. Then it shows next message:

 Format Error occured at offset 0 (then 524 288, 1 048 576, 1 572
864...)

 Does it means that disk has physical problem?
 
 Now (after nearly 1.5 hours from the beginning) programm still looks like a frozen...
