Tried the reset again. Held for well over a minute until the display went from the Sansa symbol to blank. Then tried the forced MSC mode.
“USB device not recognized” error from Windows. Forgot to mention in my first post that I was getting this error since adding the files.
The “Driver Software Installation” window is telling me:
Unknown Device - Failed
USB Mass Storage Device - Ready to use
SanDisk Sansa Clip 2GB USB Device - Ready to use
WAIT! The removeable drive just popped up. And the Sansa is showing “Connected” on it’s screen. But my Windows Explorer window is “Not Responding.” I’ll try again and update…
Still get a “Not Responding” from Windows Explorer when I try to right-click on the drive to format.
