UnhappyIt starting doing this 2-3 weeks ago. I'm unsure whether it's a hardware prob with the iriver, but I'm fairly certain it is not my PC because it no longer boots on my work PC either.

When plugged in, the iriver tells me it is in USB mode, but the PC either does not recognise the player at all, or, if I go to My Computer, it crashes the window (it returns a 'not responding' message). The moment I unplug the player, it uncrashes the window. This happens on both my work PC and my PC at home.

There is a twist in the tale: my friend with an Archos mounted me (so to speak) and was able to view my files. His computer, which runs Linux, was also able to interact naturally with my h140.

What's the solution? The player seems to work fine otherwise, all I want is to be able to get my files on and off!

Oh, one last thing: I tried to get it to connect in the original firmware with the same problem.


Is the only way out to run a limited version of Linux on my PC? Surely that would have its own problems...

Can anyone help me with this curious query? Has there been some update to windows that's invalidated my connection?

Thanks

I have the same problem with my H320. I've tried EVERYTHING!. Switched Rockbox version, format HDD, tried different PC's and USB cables, etc. Nothing seems to help. I know I screwed it up when I unplug the USB while downloading data. After that the whole thing went crazy! I was
able to connect to my PC for a while, but now even Windows XP crush every time I connect my device. Some mentioned trying to format the H320 HDD connecting to another PC but I have problem understanding how to attach it to the other PC. That could be a great solution. Maybe that can help you too, if you know how to do it. Please let me know if you have found any way to fix this problem. Thank you and good luck with your H140!............... ..
