Hey Guys,
Recently upgraded the firmware on my iriver H320 and what it did was change it to a ver 1.25 E (which im pretty sure is a different version to what it originally was). Now the problem is when I connect it to my usb, mp PC does not recognise it at all! Im pretty sure I need to install a driver which coincides with this version, however cant find one. Any help would be much appreciated?

Sid we have had a similar problem with our iriver not being recognised at all. Our one is still able to be recognised on some computers but not others. We could not find a solution to it on the computer side. We tried upgrading to the latest version of windows, the latest drivers e.t.c. e.t.c. Didn't fix it. We ended up giving up on it and using the iriver with the computer it still worked with.
Let me know if you find a solution.
Cheers,

one last thing...noticed you're using 1.25 firmware - latest (and best, it seems) version is actually 1.28 - you can find a link to it through misticriver :)
ETA: don't use the E (European) firmware - use the K (Korean) instead. The Korean version allows files to be played at a higher maximum volume - volume is lower with the European version due to French noise regulations. |

well just half solved the issue! u still use the 'data' port to retrieve the drive on your pc. When you plug it in and it starts to charge, just press the on button and it will switch to connecting mode!
will upgrade to version 1.28 now and see if I can get my 'media' port to work again though |

media port still doesn't work, but makes no difference using the data port!
1.28 k rocks! grab it from iriver.com |

Once you upgrade firmware on a US player, Windows will never recognise the Iriver through the media port - but, like you said, it's not really needed anyway...only the data port is important :)
Glad to see another Iriver convert :p |

| took me quite a while to figure why i couldn't get the pc to recognise the iriver. There's a soft switch for USB charging. If it's set to charge via USB, you can't use it as an external drive. The other major downfall of this setup is if the battery is dead, you can't switch it on to reset to allow charging via USB. |
