It's a fatal error and they want to fix it.
If you want to try to fix it (when you do things like this you can mess up and brick your zune but if you follow directions you should be fine) enter recovery mode and restore from scratch. You will lose everything on the zune including firmware but it will restore from the computer and should work regardless of what the issue is. When it restores it will reinstall your firmware apps music anything synced. It is a very common fix on iphones (called dfu mode). I would need the model of your zune to tell you specific instructions but look up how to enter recovery mode (or how to reset) for zune in youtube with your model and it should have someone showing you how. Good Luck!

use this link to download Zune software from Microsoft .http://www.zune.net/en-US/software/default.htm turn on the player and connect the player to your computer using the usb cable, once connected windows will recognize the player and install drivers.
double click on my computer on your desktop and you should find the Zune drive.

Zune sync problems
Hey tybaylock,

If your Zune "locks up" while syncing to your computer, there are several different things that you may want to try.

First, I'd suggest making sure that you've got the latest firmware updates for your Zune and software updates for your computer. In some cases, updating programs (including Windows itself) can improve performance and may even eliminate recurring problems such as this.

Second, you may wish to check if the files you are attempting to sync have any errors. Normally the easiest way to check files is to play them using the Zune software while the Zune itself is still connected to your computer. If there are any problems with the file or it is damaged in any way, the software should encounter playback issues and may display an error message. Additionally, you can even check the Zune software itself after a failed sync. You should be able to do this by clicking on "Device" and then "Status." Then if you expand the "Not Added" section, you should be presented with more information why the files could not be added to your Zune.

If neither of these suggestions resolve the issue, you may want to check out the article below for more information. Microsoft appears to have some additional suggestions available in through their online support center on how to solve this problem, as well as step-by-step instructions when necessary.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron

Setting up my zune with my pc
Make sure the hold/lock is not engaged

Make sure the OS is compatible

Either the device is bad, the pc port is bad, or the software is faulty. Try connecting to different usb port, then a usb port on a different pc with a compatible os. If still not recognized, then there is physical damage to player.



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.

Zune 30GB black
if it says "contact support" restoring it will not work anymore. listen to the zune's hard drive. if it spins but makes a repeittive noise, the HDD is broken. if it doesn't spin at all either the hard drive of the motherboard may be broken. on the 80gb zune it's usually the logic board or the hard drive cable that causes this. there is a zune repair tutorial online gives you an idea on how to do the replacement yourself. parts are on ebay.
