but after the loading process i can use the player normal! i mean it plays all songs on the harddisk and all other functions of the empeg are working! and if i can play any songs from the harddisk it can't be a problem of the harddisk or?

i'll try to check if the sector numbers are always the same! what's about the way to connect to the player via emplode, download all songs to the pc and the format the harddisk of the empeg or something like that????
