Accidentally Deleted Partition
Johnv:
I'm sorry, I didn't know any where else to ask this. After checking out if I could restore a partition it looked pretty gloom, but I want to make sure there's nothing I can do at this point. I don't want my e270 to be a brick :(
Now the problem started yesterday when I was wiping my computer and starting anew, I put backup information on my sansa(nothing else to put it on) and while I was setting up the hard drive for a new XP install, I accidentally deleted the partition information on my e270 because it was connected and I didn't realize it would recognize USB storage while it was installing a new OS.
Any thing I can do at this point? Or is my mp3 player a paperweight? I was hoping I could figure out fixing the partition for it so I can get my backup information off of it.
For further information I cannot seem to get it to boot into recovery or manufacturing mode. So it seems like it's done for right now.

I've tried what has been recommended on that page, and I can't get windows to detect the player, and the player itself does not respond to anything I try with it. The only thing that is noticeable is that the wheel light is on, but the screen stays black.

This means you are in manufactoring mode. If you deleted both partitions on the device, this is probably where you will end up.

So I'm probably screwed then. Apparently I can't use the e200 tool since I can't boot from a linux cd atm, so am I SOL? Well wait, do you think I could mount a linux cd on daemon or some similar tool and have it boot from that?
