DELETING FACTORY FILES

ChriZ · 04-11-2008, 10:40 AM

These files were deleted in the Zune software, but they're still on the Zune. I'm trying to get the computer to recognize it as an external drive. I've tried the hack and a number of programs that should do it, but nothing works. I don't get why the hack didn't work. What am I doing wrong? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????!!!!!!

Which zune do you have? And I don't think the hack works with the new firmware.

Do a simply format (you'll lose all data) then sync your music back.

*BTW this is what I had to do, its not that bad of an option.

Um on the software near options cant you just put restore deleted files? try that

The hack works, you just need to unlock the Zune, follow the directions to find out how.

I have the 80 GIG, What directions do I have to follow to unlock it? This is what I've been looking at.

after doing the Hard drive hack, you run the zune software, begin a sync, while the sync is still running use task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and view the processes tab and select "zune.exe" and kill that process, then you can use the hard drive hack which should already be active and you can open your zune from "my computer" and files can now be deleted or sent to the zune, but to send files into your zune, I suggest putting already converted files in the right folders, videos for videos pictures for pictures, and music for music. etc.
