    Hmmm.. simmilar thing happened to my player today. It does start up in Recovery Mode, but even if I reboot it from there (this usually does the trick) it freezes on the startup. When I connect it to my PC in Recovery Mode, it is detected as an empty harddisk of 0 kb...

    If you find the solution, please do post it here!

    does your player freeze when in the process of recovery mode you select "Run PC Scandisk"?

    Pfff... finally! Upgrading the firmware worked! Check http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ for the latest firmware, download it to your PC, run it and pray!

    After my PC recognised the player, I was able to use it as an external harddrive, so I knew communication between my PC and the player was ok.
    Before that I didn´t dare to replace the firmware.

    Still no reaction from Customer Support... I think this is going to be my last Creative device....

    It doesn´t freeze anymore! It starts up normal and works well again.
    I formatted it first, so I don´t know if your files will still be on after reloading the firmware.

    I would make a backup if I were you...

    Good luck!

    finally, i´ve got mail from custommer support. Their solution: reload the firmware and then run cleanup.
