Hi Jenny. I use a thumb drive with my NLS DTB player all the time and I do my file transfers with a Mac, but I recently had a similar sort of thing happen. It ended up being that I had a bad thumb drive. It was strange because the drive had been working perfectly for several months, and then one day it just started doing weird stuff and the DTB player would not read the drive properly, so I replaced it with another one and all was well again. It therefore may be that you have a bad thumb drive. You might try reformatting it again using FAT32, maybe in a PC, and then redownloading and copying the books on the drive. Another possibility is that your downloads are corrupt for some reason. Try downloading the books again to see if it was just a bad download. And you're sure you're putting each book in the root directory of the drive? The DTB players from NLS seem to like when each folder is placed in the root of the drive instead of in a subfolder.
Good luck and let us know what happens. On Aug 2, 2010, at 11:29 PM, Jenny Kennedy(Howard) wrote: > Hi guys, > > Hope everyone is doing great.
