1. Backup your zunes library.
2. Do a hard reset on your zune(Press and hold the back+center+left buttons and the zune will delete everything it has on it, as well as the firmware).
3. Follow the directions on your zunes screen.

Thanks, I have done this, it says 'On your PC, open the Zune software and restore the Zune device firmware'.
It doesn't want to install the firmware :confused:
It says there isn't enough space on my Hard Drive on my pc. I only have 207 GB free.

Only 207GB lol. Anyway your probably going to need to go back to the 1.4 FW because 2.2 won't install on a freshly formatted zune. At least I have never seen any success stories of people trying to do it.

Uninstall the SW that is on your computer and use the disc that came with your zune (if it did come with one).

Thanks, I will try. Yes, it did come with a CD.
The CD has FW 2.1 on it, and it says I must update...same error as before :s

Looks like they've got a newer version (Update 3). I'm thinking it should still work fine.
