my philips GoGear Vibe when i start file system error
error code F0305023 what i do now?
how can start this? pl. help me.

I too had faced such problem while playing music on my computer, to rectify this we need to have media recovery tool like Media Recovery Software. So if you too need to restore such files then you can easily download it from internet.

Try to reformat it. It might be a virus or a bug.

You'll need a computer with Windows XP... with the Philips GoGear Vibe Device Manager running, plug your player holding down the volume button "+"... Just wait and it will fix it automatically. ;)

Have you tried to uninstall the software that came with it and reinstall it? this usually takes care of it. Hope this helps you.

For sure, the file system is corrupted and is the cause of your woes. The fix lies with the Philips Songbird software. If you do not have Songbird, download it for Windows or Mac here: http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/22126/cat/en/#/difference/philipssongbird.
Once you have Songbird installed, launch it and select "Repair my Philips device" in the Tools menu. Select your device and follow the instructions specific to your device. For example, instructions for the GoGear Vibe are to disconnect the device, power it down completely, and hold the volume-up key during and after USB connection until the message window disappears.

If the repair utility endlessly indicates it is checking for updates, you are likely using an out-of-date version of Songbird - probably the one that came with your GoGear. If this describes your situation, launch Songbird and select "Check for updates" in the Help menu. This will at least get you upgraded to version 1.9 (currently), even though the latest version is 1.11 (currently).

Instructions that came with some older versions for connecting GoGear in repair mode were incomplete. They left out a crucial step of turning off the GoGear and waiting for it to power down completely before reconnecting in repair mode. Newer versions of Songbird include the ability to reformat the device, reset the device, and to get progress updates during synchronization.

If you've found this information helpful, please indicate as such.

my phillips gogear model numbers 3245/37 rated 5v=1a it will only say file system error ! And does nothing what can I do I have only had it 6mo.!! Please help!!

The file system error problem cannot be corrected - you can run a Repair or an Update in the Philips Device Manager and you will see that it will be unsuccessful - call Philips and get an in-warranty replacement while you still can. The newer Philips players use Windows Explorer as the transfer method - it doesn't hide the system files, so if you delete a system file instead of a music file, you get the system file error. Sorry.

Try formatting it using FAT32 or NTFS file system. I formatted my SA2840 and changed the file system from FAT32 to NTFS (what was I thinking!) and the ending of the story was pretty much the same.
