Zen Micro as a Removeable Disk

[Ser_Cheese]

I installed newest firmware. My ZM should be installing without any problems on all computers. I thought I could use it as a portable memory

And guess what? I came to my friend, plug the ZM and... it wanted drivers! Ok, no prob, I had a CD with me. But even after installing drivers it didn't want to work

At home I have the newest drivers and they work well, but while I was in my friend's house, I had only CD with which my ZM came. And it didn't work

So, he's laptop saw that there's a portable device (even named it "Zen Micro"), but only in WMP9. There wasn't any icon which should mean a new disk. So I could see what I have on my ZM (in WMP9) but couldn't download anything (I had 2GB of pdf's for Fading Suns).
What's the point?

Hey, you should go to your menu -> extras - > removable disk -> and set partition.

Thats how you activate the removable disk function. . Your micro appears as a removable disk on my computer.

yup, I've done it before
I said, that I upload on it almost 2GB of pdfs, so there was a partition

ya i had the same "problem" that you had. for it to work as the removable disk you have to go menu>extras>removable disk and it should say something like removable disk 2 gb. leave the player alone at that screen and plug it in. should work.

you have to do this same thing to put the files on and take them off.

good luck

not very easy to use, glad i don't have any disk space to spare to use as a removable drive. already filled up my zen with 4.6GB worth of songs.

sounds complicated mabey but it really isnt. it only takes a couple of seconds, its like flipping a switch so its pretty easy.

I have a new problem.
While using Creative MediaSource Organiser it doesn't see my ZM after I upgrade my firmware, why's that?

because they arnt compatable. besides the new mediasouce and the old one suck compared to wmp10. download and start using wmp10 if you can its alot better. if you really dont want to then you need to download the compatable mediasouce off of the creative website.

add all of you music files to the wmp library (the green plus sign in the lower right side of the library tab) and then sync your micro with your library.
