Sansa e250 Disk Drive Capacity Issue .

<< < (2/3) > >>

soap:
Start > Run > "cmd" > (Then in the command prompt that opens type) "chkdsk /f f:"

Roy.A:
Alright, i did that ... it wrote some stuff ...
" ... Removing nonvalid long folder entry from \MUSIC...
File and folder verification is complete.
Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)?

Should i choose Yes ?
im really afraid i'll screw something, Sorry  :-X

yapper:
Unless you plan on taking a crash course in file recovery techniques, you should select No (selecting Y will just waste disk space with a bunch of files you won't use anyway).

The fact that you see this option indicates that the disk structure was corrupted in some way.

Roy.A:
Well dont ask how or why ... i was in a rush and i chose Y before i saw your comment .
i was an ass for not thinking . but those critic stages should be mentioned before ...

Anyway i did that, it ran some checks, but the drive looks unchanged ... i see the same folders inside ... i got my music, and the capacity states are still incorrect .

Now i tried to do that process again (start > run > cmd . . .) only this time i wanted to choose N like you said yapper .
but now its not doing the check it did like in the first time i tried chkdsk /f f: .

Sorry guys i think i screwed something .
i thought about formatting the whole drive but i dont know if this will help + i dont want to lose the original sansa firmware inside, because i dont know how to find it and install it later . . . shoot me  :'(

That option asked you if you want something saved to disk or deleted.  You saved it to disk.  If you want it deleted, go and delete it.  Or don't.  It doesn't really matter.

But yes if the disk check doesn't work, formatting is probably a good idea.
