hi folks..
i've faced a huge problem with my
s10: i was reinstalling winXP on my sister's comp, and my recently bought
s10 was plugged for recharging, and i accidentially killed the partition from it with XP's installer
(( (i wasn't thinking at that moment that flash drive could be seen as a target for installing OS).. so then i disconnected it and once i turn it on, there's an error message:
"file system is damaged format the device" and when it's connected back, the
"usb connected" message and the usb logo weren't of the proper light-blue color but of odd kinda
yellowish-green...
then i coudn't even format it back for ages until i finally made it using the same damn xp installer. i've created FAT partition, so ok: now i can write to and read from
s10's memory. but it acts only like an ordinary flash, no audio player capability is here now..
i made a bunch of attempts to update the firmware, and here my questions begin:
1. i constantly get the
"network error" message in the
iriver plus 3, even on various computers and internet providers; it happends when i try to do the firmware upgrade, yet
iriverplus is updating itself troublessly;
2. i was here:
http://nyaochi.sakura.ne.jp/iriverupdate/, and downloaded a few different
s10 *.hex files:
s10/lat (latin??),
s10/est (estonian? eastern??),
s10n (the heck is it??). i've put them one by one into root folder of
s10, disconnected, nothing happened and seems like nothing won't. so as far as i can guess, there should be functioning intact previous firmware in player in order it could recognise the new one and replace itself, or i'm wrong? what if the previous firmware is damaged? (in case of this being possible; could i kill it when i deleted the partition?);
3. the site
http://www.iriverplus.com is down at the moment - can it be the reason for issue #
1 ?;
4. have anyone had this odd
yellowish-green color scheme once the firmware went wrong ?;
5.
what should i do ??? (in fact, the main question, i guess there's too much of them to get answers to each, though..)
thanks for reading this all, sorry for glitches in my english
