-   I have the same problem. Mine crashed ages ago, so I resetted it and now all it does is rebuild about one third of the way and doesn't go any further, after a while it'll have another go and get to the same point, then it comes up with "Firmware Error" or something like that. It also makes a weird whirring noise when it gets to the point it's stuck at. It's really annoying, 'cause I have a years warranty and it didn't even break half way into the year, but I've lost my receipt, so I can't return it. I downloaded a firmware upgrade, but my computer's useless and doesn't like new applications and never even installed the Zen applications properly, so I installed all the Creative software into my Dad's laptop, but it won't install, because it can't read the hardware player properly due to it being broken, so when I go to try and upgrade the firmware, it won't read the MP3 player as being plugged in. So frustrating. :(-   mini_molko

-   I have the same problem. My Zen Vision M froze in play mode and wouldn't turn off or react to any action I tried taking. I tried resetting it twice, but the reloading gets stuck about 75% through and will probably run the battery out.-   lizo1918
If it makes a pining noise inside then it is possible that the hard drive has died. Also You can take the battery out, Hold the on switch to the on position, put the battery back in - and the recovery screen will show up... THere are a number of things you can try there including reformatting the drive...
There's a little area at the bottom that says, reset, you take a thumbtack, and just pop it in! It will be back to working condition without losing files with no problems!
My Zen is frozen and I've hit the reset button many times. It will not turn back off so how do I take the battery off to reset it since the reset button isn't working?

hi. I put my vision m in the pc with usb, but the zen vision m series media explorer does not recognize it, so I cant put any track or videos?? even windows media player 10 does not recognize it, could anyone tell me how to transfer songs or videos?? thanks :D
I have a creative zen m 30gb. I have to reboot my zen a lot of times and then it goes into the menu. While playing music, it freezes, and then I have to start rebooting it again. I reloaded firmware to a newer version, but that didn't really help. I saw in the solution below that you could have a hard drive "dead". Is it possible to replace a hard drive? If yes, then where can I do it and is it worth it or should I just get a new mp3 player? Thanks
