Bricked it semi fixed it, Plz plz help me

<< < (3/3)

burkjavier:
I'm not sure if this was fixed yet, but I would also try the following:

1- Make sure the drive is formatted to FAT32, not NTFS (Windows XP will format to NTFS, by default).  You can use the Gigabeat formatting tool to do that, I believe.  I'm pretty sure that error 20 is a file system issue.

2- If it is FAT32 and still doesn't work, I would recommend opening up the Gigabeat, and trying to fix this way:
a) Detach the HDD.  Remember how it was seated, before you do this!  (easier to put back together, later)
b) Power up the Gigabeat.  It will blow out an error, which is expected.
c) Attach the USB cable.
d) Attach the HDD, while the Gigbeat is running (the HDD is designed to be able to do this, so don't worry)
e) re-format the drive as FAT32, add your files, and then reboot the Gigbeat.  If all goes well, power off and put back together.

Cheers, Brian
