message, what should I do?

Answer:

Close any program that might be accessing data on the player, including Windows

® Explorer. If it does not work, close all programs and wait for another 20 seconds,

then tr y the green arrow icon again. If it still does not work, you should shut down the

player and disconnect the USB cable.

Question 3. I nd new le names and folder names that I never created before or

they have strange gibberish names.

Answer:

Most likely, the player’s le allocation table (FAT) has been corrupted. This might be

due to the player shutting down (due to low batter y power) while reading or writing to

your computer by the USB connection. Windows and Macintosh often write extra les

to the hard disk such as nder.def or System volume info. These are normal and will

not do any harm to the player.

Question 4. I used my player to transfer files back and for th bet ween dif fer ent

computers. Will defragmenting the player hard disk do any harm to it?

Answer:

Defragmenting the player hard disk may be useful after having transfer red many

les to and from the player. It is never harmful to use the defragment on the player.

Make sure no other programs are running while using the Windows® defragment

utility. Make sure you have connected t he player with the external power adapter

during this procedure.
