Jw... anyways if it came with a plug in for the computer to charge it a box will pop up if u plug it in... go to view files in that box and it will show everything on the sansa on the computer then go to the **** and right click then go down to delete and click yes then the **** is gone...

try formatting it. to do that, simply scroll down to settings, and in settings hit format. you'll lose everything that was on it tho, if that don't work then try updating. if your unsure how to update go here.
and install the program.

Get the Vista compatible software from Sandisk's website

It is because the e260 is not in MSC mode (where it looks to the computer like a hard disk).

Try this, this will temporarily set your e260 into MSC mode. Then download and install the firmware as per instructions (or use the Sansa Updater software also available on the Sansa site). This will then let you see a menu item to switch to MSC mode.

MSC mode instructions:

1. Turn on the e200 v2
2. Put the device in Hold (move Hold button until orange is showing)
3. Press and hold the Left Button
4. Plug the 30 pin connector into the device (be sure the USB is plugged into the computer)
5. Wait for the e200 drive(s) to show up
6. Follow instructions below and drag files to the e200 drive
