Sansa e280 won't go out of USB mode

<< < (2/3) > >>

AlexP:
That is scandisk, not chkdsk I think.

chkdsk won't delete anything either.

Open a command prompt with the sansa connected, and type

"chkdsk -f r:"

assuming that your Sansa is r:

Got home today & connected the Sansa & tried the chkdsk. The Sansa is indicated in Win Explorer as being drive S

so in cmd window I put in:
chkdsk -f s:
but get a bad parameter - s
I booted up the rockbox utility & completely uninstalled Rockbox, then did a clean reinstall, along with fonts, which seemed to go normally. Tried to load in a theme too, but it said there were no themes available for taget. Grabbed Wide Cabbie manually & attempted to upzip & drop it on the player but got:
If I click on any of the folders on the Sansa, none of them will open & under properties, show 0 bytes .I can dismount the player from the PC, though the USB screen still show & I have to hold down the power button like 20 secs for it to shut off. Also tried the other method I described earlier (which does allow you to call up both chkdsk & repair damaged files, but it starts running as phase 1 & then just hangs with no progress. So am I SOL on this thing?

update: Tried again & was able to do chkdsk via the right click/Properties/Tools. It took a long time , but completed. Didn't indicate anything was amiss. And still stays stuck in USB mode after unmounting. Heck if I could figure out how to put back Wide Cabbie, I could live with it as is

GodEater:
Hi, AlexP is clearly starting to forget his windows lore ;)

It should be :


--- Code: ---chkdsk S: /F /X
--- End code ---

This is not chkdsk, this is scandisk. While both tools do a similar job chkdsk (from my experience) detects more problems than scandisk does. If you haven't done in the meantime I suggest running chkdsk /f (make sure to use the option /f).

AlexP:
Hehe, my bad indeed!  It is quite a long time since I used chkdsk under Windows.  Sorry for the confusion.
