Problem for SanDisk Sansa e260 (4 GB) MP3 Player

Sansa e260R




By emotionalgrl on Nov 13, 2007

" "
every time i plug my player in (sansa e260R) my computer says it doesn't recognize it but iv had it for about 5-6 months and its been fine. my mp3 player says there is nothing on it but computer says its full and wont let me add anything because it says there is not enough space but i cant delete anything because the things that my computer says is on there wont come up and isn't really there, no videos, pictures, music, etc. They were there but i plugged the player in to charge and i unplugged it and everything was gone. I've tried to listen the the rhapsody channels but it says 'connect to ur PC to transfer' in white letters.

1. Double click on My Computer so that you can see it on your screen.

2. Turn the player off.

3. On the top of the player is a Hold switch, move it to the right (toward the headphone jack) so you see the orange colour.

4. On the left hand side of the player is a Record button, press and hold it while connecting the player to the computer. Continue holding the Record button until you see a new icon under "My Computer" called "16MB FORMAT". Once you see that icon you may release the Record button.

5. Double click the RHAPSODY-1.0.1.47 file you downloaded earlier and open it. You will need WinZIP or WINRAR to "unpack" it. Inside you will see a file named PP5022.mi4 drag this file onto the 16MB Format in My Computer mentioned before.

6. Double Click on the Sansa.rar and open it. Drag the Sansa.fmt file into the 16MB Format as well (this forces the device format and erase all data)

6. Disconnect the player and look at the screen. Several things will be displayed, and when you see Key Lock, System Shutdown, move the Hold switch on the top back to the left.

7. Turn the player on and watch the screen. If you see a Refresh Database Fail error, you will need to follow steps 1-7 again until you do not get the error. If it does not work the first time, it could take up to 3 times for it to work.





Best of Luck.
