Now that we have something new to play with (emphatic) I am finally uploading some new tunes to my player after having gone a very long time without doing so. Unfortunately, I am getting an error.

If I watch the tasks in emplode, I can see that "Connecting to player" and "Uploading database" complete successfully, but "Checking media" gives an error 0xc0041010. I also notice that the player restarts while "Checking media". Is this normal?

At first I thought I needed to do an fsck, so I manually did so on both of my drives, but I am still getting this error.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Drive cable?
