HELP - My Creative Zen (20gb) SHIT itself

I need someones help who might own something the same as me
My mp3 recently went flat, so after charging it back up, I turned it on and it says 'select music to PLAY from Music Library' so I go to the music library and there is NOTHING there. Absolutely nothing. I hook it up to the computer and it says the same thing in the CreativeSource Organizer... that there is no music on it, but it says that there is the same amount as memory being used as before, like the music is hiding or something. So I go to put some more music on the mp3 player and it says "cannot perform task... please reboot or reload firmware on mp3 player"
If I reboot/reload it, will the music reappear? It says at least 10gb is being used, but says there is no music there.... any help would be much appreciated as Ihad some fucking rare music on there that I will never be able to find again.
thanks in advance for any help

I had a zen micro. I had quite a few problems w/ it an finally after only 3 months it completely died (won't even turn on)
But if you reboot it and reinstall the new firmware you'll lose anything that was on it. they have some info on their website
good luck and hope yours lasts

not sure how the HD is set up on those, but it sounds like the file allocation table (FAT) got fucked up somehow. you could try using a data recovery tool to get the data back. SpinRite would get the job done, but it costs $$$...I guess it depends on if its worth it to you.

format, install new firmware, whatever, put music back on. If that fails send to get fixed if u have warranty, if that fails... get an ipod? I've had mine for 2 years, bought it used too, battery froze countless times when left in freezing temp, left it in 100+ degree weather in car, still working, dropped it, working, bla.
