I see.. THanks guys. I think I will put it aside first untill i think of some possible solution. It shouldnt be the problem of battery. ohya.. How long shd we switch the battery off to clear its exsisting memory?
BTW, happy chinese new year to you guys, if you guys celebrating it

have a good one!
Plerg, i was using vista, and I am gonna use XP to update the firmware using the original toshiba updater. Was wondering could it because of vista causing the error box "There is no drive that allows transfer of the application. Connect Gigabeat to the PC." Perhaps XP is a more well rounded one. But I dun have the XP OS at the moment, I will inform you if I got the happy result. Cheers!
