As above, I think the HDD has went on my NW-A1200. If i try to transfer a file or files totalling any more than 80MB It disconnects from the PC and i need to reinitialize the HDD. So, I was wondering before/if i pay someone to repair it, I would see if there is a program that can scan it and repair any bad sectors on it? Diskeeper does'nt even recognise it, Spinright does and recognises it's a 12 bit FAT system but when i ask it to scan and repair it just crashes, I assume that the Walkman is refusing it permission to access it? So, Does anyone know of any programs for windows that would beable to check the disk? Or anyother suggestions would be appreciated, I also have the system error (No. 032) when connecting/disconnecting if anyone could help with that? Looks like my next player will be flash based and certainly not a Sony. Also, If anyone knows if it could help by formatting with windows and re-installing the firmware ? I dont want to format it with windows and wipe everything off the player and leave it compeletely useless I need my 80MB (Out of 8GB )as it's the only player i have.
