petur:
well the changes made to support CF shouldn't cause what you are seeing.
The only way to be sure is to prove it: load an older firmware and see if that works fine. I have been testing with an A-Data 8GB x266 ('turbo') and so far no problems....
I'd surely do a chkdsk /f on that card

I doubt that the changes are the problem. I ran chkdsk /f after the fact, and then noticed that the firmware and fonts were missing along with my saved configuration. Not sure if any music files are gone.
With the new firmware I no longer have the problem with the CF and USB stack of having to power cycle the battery switch after any USB file operations. Pulling the USB cable used to result in the player hanging up, now pulling the cable resumes normal operation as it did with the hard disk.
(I logically dismounted the CF from the PC in either case, but it didn't help with the old f/w).
I suspect that in normal operation some disk writing is going on to log play history, otherwise I can't imagine how just playing music would cause a directory failure (if the operation was read only....).
I very well may have a defective CF card (too late to return it for a refund from newegg, but I'll replace it with the 32gb version when it gets a little cheaper....).
BTW, what player are you using, Mine is a Gigabeat F10

Hi Pete,
Sure, the CF card is inserted perfectly. There are no problems with pre 02-10-2008 releases.

I have an iriver h320 (now h308 ;))
Regarding ATA -80 on ipods: I'm almost sure you need a new bootloader. It probably has to be build and released by somebody before you can install it, unless you build your own.
I know almost nothing about the ipods though....
