Creatice zen mozaic ez series stock on scanning disk problem...

http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=64004
this is recovery mode, worked on mine.

I've had similar issues with the Zen Microphoto, usually the case is a defective cable. Even though the PC sees the device that does not mean that the cable is connecting properly. Try using a different mini USB 2.0 cable. That fixed all of my issues with my Zen Microphoto's connection and inability to charge.

Hi, I was just wondering, have you been able to solve the problem? I have the same and cannot find the answer anywhere.:-(

Thanx.

for instructions click the "Quickstart User Guide" to download the quickstart manuals, back and front sheet, in pdf-format
( just agree to the license agreement )

well, creative zen likes avi, mpg and wmv formats

the reason that your creative zen won't read the avi is because the necessary codec is missed.

you can use iorgsoft creative zen video converter to convert the video to mp4,wmv then put them to creative zen.

if you want to put DVD onto creative Zen, fine, you can use iOrgsoft DVD to Creative Zen converter to remove the DRM(Digital Right Management) and regional restriaction from DVD, and you can also use it to convert DVD to avi, wmv or mpg for playback on creative zen.
