Hi

My mate bought one of these over in Singapore recently, came back from hols and can get his PC to see it - in Explorer, but, when clicking on the device IN Explorer it does not reveal the hard disk of the HMP - it returns an error message saying the disk is corrupt (but it can’t be cos there are demo file son the device which display fine).

Anyone got any thought on h2 fix this?

Also, does anyone know if there’s a MAC driver/support for this little baby?

Have you tried using HMP Image Transfer Manager? If it does not work, than there is something wrong with the hard drive. I am able to see contents if I use Explorer or if I directly access it from My Computer since it is recognized as a hard drive.

Thnaks for your reply, but sorry, but how do I make sure it’s not on ‘hold’? I only have a manual in Japanese ...

(I have tried it on my laptop (USB2) and still have same problem - I can see an icon for the SOny, but it won’t let me read/write to it.

Where you see the power switch, there is Hold function, just make sure that the switch is in correct position. Also make sure you have the latest firmware installed as well as the software. Go to Sony Japan support page for HMP-A1 (I believe the web address is listed in your manual) to obtain the updates.

thanks - I can fimd the support page on the Japanese Sony site, but not reading/iunderstanding Japanese, I don’t know which lin k is which.

Anyone got a clue - if so please send me the direct link for the firmware upgrade, or a clue as to which link I need to select.

Thanks.
