Storing and Transferring Data Files 11
Storing and Transferring Data Files
Using Zen Media Explorer
Use Zen Media Explorer if you need to transfer data files between Zen and your computer.
Zen Media Explorer offers you the ease of managing your player’s data files (as well as
music tracks), in a Windows Explorer environment. Zen Media Explorer is automatically
installed when you set up the Zen software on your computer. For more information, refer
to Zen Media Explorer's online Help.
Using Removable Disk mode
If you are using a shared computer in school or at the office, and installing Zen Media
Explorer is not possible, you can still transfer data files. Just enable Zen's Removable
Disk mode. Read on for tips on using Removable Disk mode. For detailed information,
refer to the User's Guide in the Installation and Applications CD.
I do not need to transfer data files using Removable Disk mode. Do I still need to select
hard disk space settings for Removable Disk mode?
No, you should only enable Removable Disk mode and select its settings if you need to
use it.

12 Storing and Transferring Data Files
How do I enable Removable Disk mode?
Press the Menu/Back button, and select Extras Removable Disk.
When you enable Removable Disk mode for the first time, you will be prompted to select
the amount of hard disk space you want to use for this mode. It may take up to a couple of
minutes for Zen to set up the Removable Disk hard disk space.
Make sure the Removable Disk mode icon appears on Zen's LCD before you connect your
player to your computer.
Can I change the Removable Disk hard disk space settings later?
Yes, you may change the allocated hard disk space at any time. However, do note that the
space allocated for Removable Disk mode cannot be smaller than the space used by your
existing files.
To delete all the data files in the Removable Disk hard disk space, press the Options
button while in Removable Disk mode and select Format. Use Windows Explorer if you
want to delete individual data files stored in Removable Disk mode.

Storing and Transferring Data Files 13
When Zen is in Removable Disk mode, can I use Zen Media Explorer to transfer files?
No, files transferred using Removable Disk mode are stored separately from files
transferred using Zen Media Explorer. In fact, when Zen is in Removable Disk mode, you
will not see your player in Zen Media Explorer.
To transfer files using Zen Media Explorer, exit from Removable Disk mode by clicking the
root folder of Zen Media Explorer. To access the files stored in Removable Disk mode
again, enable Removable Disk mode and then reconnect Zen to your computer.
