• FAT is corrupted, MAC OS user

  When I try to turn on my Sansa Clip 1 GB, it gives me the message: "FAT is corrupted. Connect the device to PC and recover FAT. "I tried to connect to my iMac as usual, and now the computer does not recognize the Sansa Clip, in that it does not appear on the desktop. When I watch the news of system Mac however, the device is listed as connected via USB, as it should.

  I also tried to connect the Sansa Clip directly to the computer (rather than the USB hub) and it's not always displayed on the desktop.

  After reading a few posts on this forum, I also tried forcing MSC mode (I think that's what it's called) by pressing the Center during the setting of the device to the computer while the device is locked. That no longer works.

  Is there anything else I can do?

  Thank you

  After reading the other messages on a Mac with the Sansa Clip usage, I solved the problem by using the Mac disk utility program to clear (reformat) the device. After that, the Sansa Clip appeared on my desk and seems to work again very well.

  I think that the reason why FAT has become corrupt, it was that I was trying to delete some files to the Sansa Clip when it was connected to the Mac, using the Finder. This is when he started to malfunction. Now, I've only will remove the files manually, when it is not connected.

• Not enough space for DB - formatted - now FAT is corrupted

  I received an error message after the music to transfer to my Sansa Fuze.  The message indicate that there was not enough space for DB and supposed to free 90 MB.  I have read the instructions on the website and formatted the drive.  Now, I get an error message saying that FAT is corrupted and say to connect it to the PC to get FAT.  I reconnected it to the computer without modification.  Then, I downloaded the firmware zip file and uploaded the file on the disk.  Still no change.  Please notify.

  You can try the player formatting MSC mode.  To connect the player in MSC mode, with the player to the wide, slide the switch down to the locked position (you will see an orange color it), and then press and hold the< or="" back="" button="" while="" you="" connect="" the="" fuze="" to="" the="" pc.  ="" you="" may="" have="" to="" continue="" holding="" the="">< button="" down="" for="" a="" while="" until="" you="" get="" a="">

  If the computer recognizes the player in form through the computer.  If your drive is a one, fornat 2 GB as FAT.  For a 4 GB or 8 GB, formatted in FAT32.

  If it formats correctly and the drive does not operate normally, reformat through the player settings to optimize the memory.

  Another thing, sometimes the 'diskspace for DB' message appears due to a bad music file (s).  You can check the files that you have transferred before the trouble began.

• 2GB of detonators like not recognized (and "FAT is corrupted" etc.)

  Right... Well. I recently accidentally can I have badly formatted my Fuze GB 2 as FAT instead of FAT32 (or whatever it's supposed to be).

  The message on the screen (whenever I turn on the rocket or connect) is

  "FAT is corrupted. Please connect the device to PC and recover FAT. »

  Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to do. It is not recognized by Windows (she appears as "Unrecognized USB Device" and won't let me access it or format or something, does not even get a drive letter assigned and there is no option in the Manager). In Ubuntu, it is recognized as a mass storage device and I see it always all the files that were on it before it stopped working, but I can not format or do something with it (even if I could copy the files).

  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? =(

  (I don't mind losing what is there, I have it on my HARD drive in any case)

  Thank you<>

  EDIT: Also, I was in PARIS when I tried to format it first time round (before it is broken), but I can't in the drive for change to MSC because the formatting is inconsistent and it is unable to load the user interface...

  Right, well, I used it too muchl to format as FAT and I can access now.

  Everything seems to work fine, so I'm happy.

  Completely forgot that all of the built-in Windows utilities suck.

• Major problems: not enough space, tried formatting, now the FAT is corrupted, what should I do?

  I have a 4 GB San Disk Sansa Clip and yesterday I tried to add music and he ran out of room, so I deleted a bunch and he always says that there is no space. I then deleted all my music and audio books individually and yet he insisted that he had no space. So I tried to format it and now when I turn it on, it says FAT is corrupted. I ran an error control and it found nothing. I then opened the Sansa clip in a window and it is completely empty! Not nothing! I ruin it? What should I do now?

  YAY! So I have deicided to try to drag my music in anyway and it worked! Just connect it to your computer and do drag music files, then eject it and turn it back on. It should be able to listen to all your music and work again.

• Fuze corrupt and not recognised in Explorer

  Any help to get this device working would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  A simple restart of the computer did the trick. Is not corrupted and recognized by Windows. I guess I should have tried that first!

  Thanks for the suggestions in any case.

• FORMAT THE HARD DRIVE

  Hello

  I inserted an SD card in my Clip of Sasa 8 GB + and I wanted to format in the first place, but unfortunately, I formatted the disk bad, that the two men were mounted as the disks on my desk (I use OS x).

  You can imagine how happy I am, that the 8 GB were almost entirely filled with music, but wait this is the fun part. The worst cause is what brings me here:

  Now when I connect the SANSA CLIP to my computer, the drive seems mounted and totally empty (there is no more all these folders I used to see when I was exploring my Clip +) which seems quite normal since I (stupid me) FORMATTED the drive...

  And when I try to start the clip + I get this error message:

  FAT is corrupted.

  Please login

  device to PC and

  (I can't read the rest of this error message)

  I tried to update the firmware, but it doesn't do anything (except that now I have this bootrom in the root folder...)

  And when connected to a computer, the logo lights up and indicates the status "connected." But as soon as I disconnect the device it gives me this error.

  I guess I need to copy in the root folder all the files that came with the Sansa when I first get.

  Question: anyone could copy me this file system, so I can start my machine again?

  And tell me if I need to format again before you copy these files (and what format: FAT, FAT32, something else?)

  Thank you in advance everyone. I would really appreciate the help.

  No, you can delete them. The firmware is not actually use any part of the user of available flash memory, it simply stores its database it (which is deleted and rebuilt on each USB insert in all cases). Looks like you have not partitioned/formatted the drive correctly.

• FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, which is the best for the recovery of deleted data?

  I have a usb 3.0 port (Kingston 100 3 16 GB) to store my important data. I read the article on this site: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm

  and they say recoverablitity of exFAT is "Yes if FAT active." I don't know what FAT and how to activate it, and what type of file system should I use (FAT, exFAT, NTFS) for the highest ability of data recovery if they are deleted?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of problem, you're ready to recover the deleted data and would like to know some information about the FAT.

  A transaction-safe FAT (FAT) file system is a file system designed specifically to ensure the security of transactions for data stored on a disk. FAT requires a driver of specific hardware designed for the type of media on which the volume of FAT will exist. Assuming that there is a driver of material-specific secure transaction block, and that the driver provides interfaces to standard FAT file system, the FAT may work on removable media such as Compact Flash cards and digital cards secured, as well as media not removable, such as hard drives and NAND Flash memories.

  By design, the FAT file system is not a secured file transaction system. FATF may be corrupted if a write operation is interrupted in the middle of a transaction. Interruptions to occur due to loss of power or the suppression of the media. Fat is corrupted when the content of the FAT table does not have directory sections or data on the volume.

  I suggest you to return the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to recover lost or deleted data on your computer.

• Corrupted FAT file

  Help, please. I just got a 2 GB Fuze for Christmas and its been great. today when I turned it on, it says corrupted FAT file, plug it into the computer to fix. When I do, nothing happens. Costs of rocket, but does nothing to fix the prob.  Thank you

  Found a way to retrieve all THE data before formatting.  Years ago I bought Get Back Data (FAT 32) of http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-downloads.htm

  I have installed the software, robbed the disk and after reading and diganosed everything (about 25 minutes), I managed to copy on my local disk.

  In the case where someone crosses it, it worked great.

  Thanks for everyone help today.  Hope this helps others too.

  I have problems with my rocket GB 8. This morning, while trying to fix my flash drive I accidently deleted the partition off my rocket.

• Deleting the files corrupted in the recycled folder

  I am running Windows XP and I have tried to run the defrag program.  The program will not work until the end because of corrupted files (4) in the recycled folder.  I can view the list of files by going to the command prompt, but no action that I have tried there will allow me to delete these files.  How can I delete these files in the recycled folder?

  You have left out some important information and may not have read material thread the Tom very carefully.

  Represents the drive on which this basket located in NTFS or FAT32 format?

  On NTFS, XP drives, the name of the file from the Recycle Bin is DRIVE: \Recycler

  On the FAT, XP drives, the name of the file from the Recycle Bin is DRIVE: \Recycled

  (The name change again in Vista and Win 7, but you said you have XP)

  If the drive is NTFS, it was converted to FAT32 or formatted directly?

  If you used the CONVERT command to convert a drive to the FAT format on a disk formatted in NTFS, you will always have the directory drive: \Recycled old, but he is no longer the basket.  If this is the case, you can delete the whole directory (if ensure that a directory C:\Recycler exist, just in case) using rmdir /s in a command prompt window.

  You can read all documents under the "basket" at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm

  There are several methods to remove otherwise undeleteable files.  In ascending order of the drawbacks:

  Method 1
  Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  Type the following commands in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

  CD C:\Recycled
  ATTRIB s h - r *. *
  Del *. *

  If the last command was NOT successful, then

  Method 2
  1 always open method command prompt window, start the Task Manager
  Find explorer.exe in the processes list, right-click and select end process
  Return to the command prompt window and see if del *. * will now delete the files
  If the files are deleted, return to the Task Manager, click on file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

  If the files still do not remove, then

  Method 3
  Redemarrer restart in Safe Mode, and then follow the steps in method 1

  If the files still do not remove, then

  Method 4
  Download the iso file to a live Linux such as Knoppixdistribution.
  Burn a CD using a tool like the free ImgBurn
  Boot from the CD (you may need to change the boot order in your BIOS)
  Remove files from Linux

• Windows XP was corrupted file & wouldn't work, so charge kit Windows advantage for Vista.Now computer is not registered. Just, I want XP back origin, but are not supplied with the computer installation CD.

  If Windows has a file corrupted in C, does not work, so I loaded the {32-bit} vista advantage kit it is genuine Windows product, I don't have 25 digit code {on pkg only 22digits}. Worked and less (media player would not read DVDs {something about codecs}) for a few weeks, and then all of a sudden it started asking for validation. Now, he tells me that I have less than 20 days to validate product b4 Windows do not work {has already taken my bkgrd screen} I'd rather just go back to XP {that my laptop is designed 4, however Vista capable} & I have no idea what I did when I loaded vista {as well as partitions, fat or? file}. I have had no problems w/XP before & I do not know if some1 piggyback on my computer via a public network caused it or what. Please help me solve this problem somehow! I'm not ignorant but not very savvy computer programs either. I know the basics! Thanks =)-

  Hello RosemaryR,

  1A Windows preinstalled on your computer?

  2. do you have a product key that is provided when you purchased the computer?

  You will need a valid product key to activate your old copy of Windows. You will also need a disk. If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you better.

• FIXBOOT corrupted disk

  Tree last week, I tried to recover my files a disc that had crushed partition (XP btw). I'm at the point where I restored all the original files to a new drive (2 TB). For the heck of it I tried to start without FIXBOOT or FIXMBR first. Does not start so I thought I might try FIXBOOT and see if it works. Well, it didn't work, now the disc is damaged and I can't see the files on the drive when I start in a backup copy of XP. Gives me the message: "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."  I searched for this error and he mentions something about fat, but this drive is formatted in NTFS.

  I think that the new drive is not cooperate because Windows gave me an error when I tried to format it. I found a program that formatted and allowed me to get the files that it contains. I had no problem with the previous (1.5 TB) drive, which has been cloned from the original, which I use now (500 GB). 2 TB is too much for the system to be managed? Any ideas? Thank you

  Hello

  This problem may occur if the file, folder, or file system index (Master File Table [MFT] or [FAT] File Allocation Table) is damaged.

  Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the file of index system using Chkdsk. To do this, follow these steps:
  Click Start and then click Run.
  In the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.
  Click OK.
  NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

  There is no practical storage limits in Windows. For example, you can use 2 TB with no problems.

  Thank you.
