This is for my friend.

He recently bought an 80gig Zune, but it's broken now (I don't think he took very good care of it, but still). :/

He put a lot of music from random people on it (it was terribly unorganized) and then he left it in his car overnight. He tried to turn it on, it wouldn't, he charged it, it came on... Then gave him an error messages stating that he needed to delete all the data from him Zune. He did, but it gave him another error message.

He couldn't return it, he looked up something online that told him how to erase everything on his Zune.

Then it says that the Zune only has 1gig (which is normal before you install the firmware, I believe). It asks to reinstall the firmware, but then says there is not enough room on the hard disk. He says that he has cleaned his hard disk, but it has not worked.

I am trying this on my computer right now, but I could still use suggestions. Anything would be helpful! Thanks.

EDIT: I think this is a problem with installing the firmware. My computer meets the requirements, but it still says I don't have enough disk space (it requires 60gig, I have 147gig).
