iHP 120 seen as local drive

[Don Pedro]

Unusual problem here. I have an iHP 120. It was working fine on a Windows 2000 pc which did see it as an iHP 120. But now, it takes forever to see it and, once it does, sees it only as a local drive and tells me it requires formatting.

I have reset the iHP and also upgraded the firmware.
I have tried it on 2 Windows 2000 machines and an XP machine, all of which worked before.
BTW, I can access the playlist and play songs on the unit itself.

Any ideas?

If you run firmware 1.60 and have a backup of your music, you might consider formatting the device to solve the problem.
Sound like a conflict in your software...

Grand so, but would prefer to hold on to the music on it as it is my only copy ;-(

Any other ideas?

What does your disk managment state?

Go -> Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Computer managment -> disk manager.
It will say there if the disk is healthy NTSF or Fat 32 (should be FAT 32)and more.
