Thanks for the reply. I have no files that fit that description and I thought chkdsk had recovered the space. The problem I now have - as I stated in my last post - is that If I run chkdsk with the /f parameter it finds no errors. However, the Rockbox utility still fails at the extraction step just as before. I've pasted in the rest of the post below to save anybody having to try to find it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I run chkdsk with the /r parameter it fails with the message "an unexpected error occurred". So, I assume I have some bad sectors on my Fuze that results in it not having enough useable space to do an update.
I have some more thoughts/questions...............
- Is it worth uninstalling Rockbox via the utility and trying a complete new install? I'm assuming that as there's enough useable space for the current install uninstalling might give me enough space for a clean install to work.
- Can I manually install 3.9 over the top of whatever is running at the moment (the splash screen on startup says 3.9; the utuility says 3.6)? If so can I use my PC's hard drive for the unpacking and simply drag the appropriate file to the .rockbox folder on the Fuze to effect an upgrade?
- Should I manually uninstall and reinstall?
- Should I uninstall Rockbox and revert to the OF?
- Should I do nothing? It seems to work at the moment and all my music is on a separate card that is working fine

Here is a suggested sequence (assuming you prefer to not leave it as it is):
* Move the .rockbox folder from your Fuze to your PC (this will give you the chance to move it back if all else fails)
* Delete the version of RockboxUtility.exe you have been using (in case it was corrupted)
* Download the latest copy of Rockbox Utility from http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/RockboxUtility
* Ensure there is NOT a .rockbox folder on the Fuze
* Run chkdsk one more time (to make sure the Fuze file system is still good)
* Run Rockbox Utility and install Rockbox

Fell at the 1st hurdle I'm afraid. Windows can't copy the .rockbox folder to my PC as it can't find a file in the source folder (doomf). Presumably this is also indicative of a corrupt file system. Can you suggest an alternative method - maybe I can delete the Doom folder and try again as I don't use it?
Interestingly Windows Explorer says I've got 1.61GB of free space on the Fuze. I have successfully filled that space with music and the Sansa firmware has successfully updated it to its database. So presumably, the corruption is within the .rockbox folder rather than it simply being duff memory
