not show up in Windows XP for over one minute, and then it comes up as local drive. Use DOS Utility ChkDsk as shown below. • Windows® XP may recognize the Gmini 400 hard disk but yet not assign a drive letter to it. Right click on My Computer and select Manage. Then select Storage, then Disk Management. Within this window you may see the hard drive and be able to assign a drive letter by right-clicking on the hard disk, and selecting the option Change drive letter and paths... Problem: What do I do if I try to disconnect via the green arrow but keep getting "The device 'Generic Volume' cannot be stopped now. Try stopping the device again later." Answer: Shut off any program that might be accessing data on the Gmini 400, including Windows® Explorer. If this does not work, shut down all programs, wait 20 seconds, then try the green arrow one or two times again. If this does not work, you should shut down the computer and disconnect the USB cable once the computer is off. 17.2 Charging and Power issues You do not need to fully discharge the batteries before recharging them. Problem: A full battery charge does not last as long as the specifications suggest. Answer: The specifications are under the condition that the screen backlight goes off after 30 seconds (for MP3 music) and the user does not access the machine, it just sits and plays. If you get significantly less time from a full charge, call our technical support hot-line. 17.3 Gmini 400 locks up (freezes operation) or Stops Problem: The Gmini 400 locks-up. None of the buttons work. Solution: If the lock buttons is set, none of the buttons respond. Hold down the F1 function button for three seconds to turn off the lock buttons function. A freeze up could also be caused by electrostatic phenomena. That is, static electricity has temporarily knocked out the Gmini 400. Hold down on the STOP/OFF button for 15 seconds and the Gmini 400 will shut off. Restart it normally now. 61
