I didn’t use the m250 for nearly 7 months and recently started using it again in the last two months. The music that was on the device before I stopped using it has somehow made itself unreadable by anything other than the player and I can’t change, modify, remove, or even see the songs when I hook it up to the computer. I have tried defragmenting, exploring, backing up, and everytime the only parts affected is the new music that I have recently put on. Even when I copied the entire folder and moved it it only totaled 330 MB, even though my player says it has 2 GB of used space.
Does anyone know what happened or how too fix it?
Also, I don’t want too erase these unseeable files if at all possible.
I already tried already. It simply let me view the files that I had put on recently and not the old ones. Also, if that was the case should they not have shown up when I defragged it? When it defragged it only recognised roughly 330 MB instead of the all 2.0 GB.
I have the m230 and had much the same problem. My solution was to create a temporary folder on my desktop, drag the folders and files I wanted to keep, then formatted the drive. It resolved my problem. Prior to this, I couldn’t update my firmware because there was no space available according to the device.
