Beware of "filesystem error"; that is repairable!

But once you've crashed the built-in flash memory using Windows or otherwise, so you get the GoGear succinctly after switching the "file system error" and switches off again. Since then helps nothing. Even if one is busy with Windows or Songbird or GParted and reformatted, so this brings no success. But there is still a simple solution:

1. A Linux live CD / DVD in the drive of the PC and boot from that.
2. Connect the recalcitrant GoGear via USB.
3. elicited using GParted, which empty dev device GoGear is. For example, / dev / SDZ (one notices easily on the amount of memory)
3a. Check whether on the GoGear any partitions have been created by Windows in GParted. This delete where appropriate.
4. Open the console and use as root: su
Type 5. command: mkdosfs -v -F 32 -I / dev / SDZ
6. Upon completion of the Super floppy format operation GoGear from USB disconnect and happy that he is running again.

Of course, the data on the drive of the GoGear are gone, but the memory is read back from the GoGear itself.

I hope this info helps some, the device has which might come from the manufacturer to send in.

Addendum:
It is generally not recommended to rename the existing (English) folder on your GoGear. This results in the device often to inconsistencies. Lieber also create new folders. Subfolders are not a problem.

Note:
The flash memory of the GoGear is incidentally not entirely comparable with that of a USB flash drive. When USB stick an MBR is often used with a FAT32-formatted partition. The storage of the GoGear is a DOS FAT32 Super Floppy. It does not include MBR and no partitions. The first sector is a DOS FAT32 boot sector and all the rest of the FAT32 Super Floppy. Since the GoGear indeed can read a FAT structure but can not make MBR boot sector, strikes the device, once you have "basic reformatted" the memory with Windows. Because there are no tools for a new Super floppy format in Windows and also by the manufacturer, you have to grab for repairs to Linux here. Repair Tools in Songbird to repair any case completely inappropriate. Those who do not necessarily need new firmware updates, should in any case refrain from the manufacturer "bent" Songbird version because it addresses both the PC and on the GoGear more damage than they use. One should also make better use of the MSC instead of the MTP protocol to the USB connection port as perfect only MSC delete, and copy files to and from work on the device. With MTP, there is often complete PC crashes under Win7u32 and also come with the GoGear.

Those who want to watch videos on it, which should consider the following parameters:
Acceptable results with: Max 320x240 pixel, 25 FPS, Qualifying: 75 Bitrate: 160 kbit / s, 48 ​​KHz stereo .; Result: small file size, decent view.

Addendum 2:
------------------
Who does not want to see the English folder in the GoGear, may inform them connected to the PC in Windows on the GoGear drive "hidden" folder simply as property, then they no longer appear on the GoGear in the folder view. This works with "ebook", "Music", "Pictures", "Playlists" and "Video". Before moving the content in newly created German-language folder. When "Recordings" change nothing else the dictation function stops working. In "SERVICE" and "SYSTEM" can both put "hidden". "User Manuals" you can rename directly. The hidden folder can be set in Windows, see the PC at any time, if one expanded view in the folder options - select Show hidden files and folders.
