Also, I wanted to thank you for this site. I was one of those people who couldn't get their Windows to recognize the Zen, so i trouble shot and was completely satisfied. Thanks again.

Ah, Finally fixed it ran clean up several times rebooting each time now lists in the creative software WMP10. All I can think of is maybe the drive became so fragmented.
Thanks for the input and Great site!

Try this:

Put a paperclip in the reset hole on the rear.

Now switch it on and the minute you see the creative logo press and hold the upper left button, this should get you into the recovery menu from here you can do a cleanup.

If that doesn't work try format from the recovery menu, failing that it's probably a hardware issue and will need to be sent in for repair.
