I can't stand the autorun stuff, so I disabled it completely for my Archos drive letter using MS's TweakUI. Whether that might make the other issues go away or not, I don't know. Have you verified that everything on the recorder is otherwise formatted properly? > Perhaps a related problem, I want to force the Archos drives to not > use a recycle bin and not to store system information.

I could try doing a diff on some registry entries before and after disabling it manually, and then find a way to implement the change automatically, but I don't connect it to the PC often enough to have made that worthwhile yet. If anyone else has found a solution, I'd like to hear it as well. Received on 2003-12-25 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
