Hi, have been reading as much as I can but can't get my head round what I need to do next. You all seem quite friendly and I wondered if someone could help? I've been running my HD-NW5 on SS3.1 since I got it a couple of years ago. Originally running it from 2 computers (a laptop and a PC) with no problems. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the PC I was using (or the CD's that were loaded onto it - ah the joys of divorce) and the laptop is so out of date (with very little memory and no CD/DVD burner to run backups etc). I recently bought a new PC and resigned myself to the fact that the music already on the player will never make it back to my SS library. My current partner uses an iPod (bless him!!) so we spent many happy hours (not) putting all our current CD's onto the new PC. Last week I downloaded CP4.3 and filled the library up, but when I try and transfer from the Library to the device it asks me to format it as I've been using previous versions (3.1) of SS. Obviously I don't want to do this as (I think) I will lose the 7 or so gigs of music already on there. Am I right in assuming that? In addition the new PC is running Vista and from what I've read CP4.3 is the only version of SS that Vista is compatible with... so, i guess my question is, am I screwed or are there other software programs that I can run on Vista that will "talk to" my NW-HD5 without having to format it and lose what's already on there? Sorry if it's a stupid question but the more I read the more confused I get and I'm losing the will to live. Peacock -x-
