So I have only had my Zen Vision M for a couple months and it was working perfectly fine. Then the other day I went to turn it on and it went straight to recovery mode. I tried reboot and Clean up and neither of them did anything. I went to pick Format All and Reload Firmware and when I click yes the screen says Harddisk Problem then goes back to the Recovery Mode.
Today I charged it for a while and the regular screen was showing up. Then when I took it out it seemed like it was working but all my data and songs and everything was gone so I tried to hook it up to add them all again and it the screen froze. I used a pin to restart it and it came up in the Recovery Mode again.
Any suggestions?
Please help!

Hello, what is your Zen problem? Could you tell more about that by email me at [email protected] maybe I can help. I just got my Zen working after the Firmware problem.
What verson of Windows Media player have you got on your pc?
Find one with version 9 install the creative software and then try the reload of the firmware .Zen has problems with windows medai player 10 - 11.
Lotsa people are having the same problem with the firmware updates. Go check for your warranty, the product was working fine before applying THEIR firmware update.

try putting it in recovery mode what you have 2 do is is hold down the play button while you turn on your mp3, as soon as you see thee logo release the play button and then choose the "reload os/ firmware" then follow instructions
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off,hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
I would simply connect the player to the computer, use windows explorer to move files to laptop or external drive, then reformat and simply re-transfer the files back from the laptop.
Try this:
My computer
--> Control Panel
--> Portable Media Devices
Is the Zen showing up? If not, your Zen has a bad motherboard and you will need to take it to a technician to have it replaced, or find a motherboard and do the replacement yourself.
