Updating creative zen

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
WARNING: at the moment, Rockbox cannot use the same file system as Creative does on the internal flash.
By updating your Media Player, you can actually prolong the device’s life because, this way, it will be in sync with the new industry standards for content creation.
However, the process of updating your device is a risky one if not done according to strict instructions, such as: make sure that the firmware you have downloaded is compatible with your device, and don’t interfere with the player during the update process.
The bootloader can be obtained using three different methods.
The recommended one is the automatic method using Rockbox Utility when it's available.
I have the most current drivers for the creative zen touch downloaded and installed.
In Creative OS, when you "power off", it doesn't actually shut down the device but only puts it into a low power state.As a result, you will need to reformat the internal flash to FAT and thus lose any data stored there. At time of writing (2014-02-07) the port can't operate alongside the OF because RB and the OF use incompatible file systems.
