Do I need the ZIF model or the the one without the zif connector in order to hook it up to the Creative Zen M drive?

I'm letting the Zen M that is damaged sit plugged in to a PC USB port all day just to make sure it doesn't need to be charged. I wash my Zen M Carefully all the time in order to clean up things like ketchup or milk splatter spills, etc, so I can't believe it's totally dead.

If it is, I'll be ordering one of the two parts...and hooking it up to an IDE cable inside an older PC to transfer things. No point risking my brand new home built one of less than a year old if the zen hard drive is somehow bad...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500946 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 13:53:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21100756 TurtleFan : Thanks guys, sent it off...

These guys sell adapters for the 1.8" drives.

Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what sort of device you'd need to read it, because it's not a standard desktop or notebook size hard drive where you could just get an enclosure... but maybe you could ask in one of the hardware forums where someone might now a bit more about hard drive technology.

If memory serves, mine is a hard drive type, not a flash one, correct?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21089983 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:36:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21087778 Sarah : There are a whole bunch of players that fall under the Creative Zen moniker - »us.creative.com/products/welcome···gory=214

Do you know which specific one she has?

Most of them have flash memory and not hard drives.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21087778 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:23:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21086108 TurtleFan : Wasn't sure where to post this one.

A friend of my sisters had her Zen get wet at work, probably Coffee or something being a hospital :). But her co-worker that looked at it said that all her songs are gone and it's un-recoverable.

I'm assuming it won't power up and that's why this person thinks that, but are there any hard drive enclosures that would work with whatever hard drive the Zen uses, or is she out of luck? That's the only way I could think of to get the songs off now, and of course I'm going to recommend a portable hard drive in the future :).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21086108 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:43:07 EDT
