My 80GB Zune won't appear in the Zune Software!!!

I had about 40GB of music, vids and pictures on it, however I didn't have enough space on my main computer to store it all, so I split it all over two computers. Also, a couple of days ago I changed a couple of registry values ("http://www.roysac.com/blog/2007/10/access-your-zune-from-windows-explorer.html") because I was curious to see how the Zune stored music and that.

But yesterday I bought a 250GB portable hard drive and moved all my music and videos from the separate computers onto it. I wanted to link my Zune with my main computer. Then, on my main computer, I emptied the Zune of music, vids and pics. But I forgot to restore the default background on the Zune. However, my custom background was still there after my emptying the Zune. I changed it back to default on the Zune after that.

But now, when I plug the Zune into either computer, it will not appear in the software!!! It will come up with the charging symbol and I assume it is charging, but won't come up in the Zune software.

****PS****
I noticed when I looked through my music on the "empty" Zune, that all the albums were still there with their album art, but no tracks in the album.
Please help me!!!

Fixed it with the manuial reset (hold up and back)
