Sounds like bad hard drive, if unit was dropped or bumped it crashes the drive, you can try it on another pc see if it works there

or try the recovery tool:

My Creative Zen is stuck in recovery mode and is not recognized on my computer to where I can reload the firmware.

Any suggestions?

same problem on Zen V Plus only it's 1 week old and was working fine. Then stuck. DUH to all those out there that want us to reload firmware on a device that WILL NO LONGER RECOGNIZE IT'S CONNECTED today (2 days ago it was fine). NOTHING works from manually using the joy stick to get it out of this mode. Not even formatting, rebooting, hard rebooting. It's NOT the USB port, tested that. I'm really sick of the same published solutions that DO NOT APPLY. Can anyone help with this or am I going to the store tonight to return? Thanks!
