Sandisk e280

kiM4U · 03-03-2007, 02:32 PM

I've had this MP3/Video model for not too long

I was watching a video earlier on during a car ride and whatnot - it froze. -_-
I had to wait until I got home to reset it (There is no reset button because it's a Flash 8GB drive, not a HD)

I somehow reset it by plugging the USB into my computer - comp said it couldn't read the drive and so I just took it out.
2 minutes later - it restarts by itself and everything's back to normal.

1 hour later - I plug in my USB and obv it reads it. I wanted to upload some more music onto it so I check all folders - I also check my video folders but there are some "new" files that were never there before.

I couldn't get those 4 deleted.
That was the popup that came up when I pressed delete on the 4 files. I don't know how else to delete it :x

I've tried to rename it to english but the same popup message comes up.

Help? Would be much appreciated

If you really need to get rid of those folders, I would back up whatever media you have on the drive and format it. Sandisk should provide a utility to format it for you.

To reset the e280 when it freezes just hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds or until it resets....the latest firmware for the e280 resolved much of the freezing issues....also there are two modes for you to use the e280 the msc and mtp.....try deleting in mtp mode.
