I downloaded the EXE file and installed directly without using media lite and also was presented with the choice of formatting the player. I didn't select the format option and the player updated with no problems.

I had to download the .exe file to my PC and run it from there. When I did so, I noticed that the box asking whether I wanted to re-format was unchecked, but when I started the update, I got a message telling me that the firmware would not install unless I agreed to re-format the player anyway, so I had to allow it to do so. This wasn't a problem, only it seemed strange that the check box was there giving me a choice aboutre-formatting, and then it turned out that I didn't have a choice after all.Perhaps some people have been fortunate enough to be able to install thefirmware without having to re-format, and if this is so, it makes me wonderwhat it was about my player which required a re-format to take place. Theplayer was working fine before the update, and as far as I know there wasn'ta problem of any kind with it. Very strange.

I had to do this because my Stone would not work at all, but it is not normally necessary.If you have Brian's scripts, then try pressing control plus alt plus u withthe player connected. If you are lucky this may take you to the update link, but it did not work for me. So, if it does not work, try the linkposted to this list a few days ago. Towards the bottom of the page you will find the download link. You have the option of running it or saving to yourpc. I saved it, but it works either way. Once you go to run the program, connect your Stone and run it first without checking the box for reformatting. Obviously it is preferable not to reformat. If for anyreason the upgrade does not work, as in my case, then run it again checking the box which says something like reformat if necessary. You will lose yourdata, but the upgrade should work. It really is much more straightforward than it sounds. Once the firmware is updated, the player should start in five seconds or less. I have not noticed any other changes.

Have you got the software for the Stone installed on your pc? Did you find out because you have Brian's scripts installed? I would hate to be stuck during the update because I don't know what's happening but would love the stone to boot up faster. Comments from anyone more than welcomed. Thanks.

During the updating process, I had to re-format the player to allow the update to take place. I wasn't surprised about this, but as no-one else had mentioned this before, I thought I would just alert anyone thinking of updating that you should be prepared for this and should back up anythingwhich you might want to copy back to the player once the firmware has beenupdated.
