Hi Adrian, is it available from other places like Amazon, which is where I
got my 1 gig version? I believe Play.com also have the one gig variety?

HI Adrian.
This news is certainly of interest though I must say I also had the same
problem as you but managed to get a program from the Creative Website that
would allow you to recover from a firmware crash like this if necessary. It
was a while ago now and I don't think the program was that accessible.
Certainly I think the initial screen was difficult anyway but there is a
solution though this 2 GB version looks good.
Cheers
Graham

Subject: [access-uk] death of a zen stone
Hi all: my stone died over the weekend, however it did turn to my advantage
in the end so read on.
I nodded off listening to it one evening and couldn't get it to re start
next day. assumed that battery had run down while I was snoozing so gave it
a charge but it still didn't respond. the light was showing that the unit
was live but I could get no sound from it. I tried a reset but nothing, and
when I tried to re format the drive I couldn't. the first time I tried I got
a windows error saying windows could not format the drive, nothing else
which isn't very informative, and thereafter whenever I tried to highlight
the drive so that I could right click it windows explorer crashed. the
creative lite software didn't recognise any attached player and the drive
appeared in my computer as 'removable drive' not 'zen stone'.
I eventually faced facts and gave up on it. with a long train journey
ahead of me early this week I instantly hit the web looking where to get the
best price for a replacement and much to my delight found that creative have
produced a 2 gig version of the stone which is currently half price in pc
world and currys. so twice the capacity for the same £30 that I payed for
the original.
take care if purchasing, it's not the 2gb zen stone plus which has a screen,
radio and other function that make it difficult to use, what you're looking
for is the straight stone 2gb. it's identical in every respect other than a
sticker on the outside of the box which says "2 gig".
