I am copying all the songs from my empeg to my PC in preparation for squirting them onto a portable player. So far, about six songs have halted the download process with the error code 0xC0041016. The only time that error was mentioned on the board was when dealing with newly upgraded drives and incorrect builder images/formatting/etc have been the culprit, and I couldn't find anything on that error code in the FAQ. I haven't upgraded the drive (still a single 30G drive). Those six songs (out of the 28G worth that I'm downloading) are the only ones so far (about 75% done with the download). Those files consistently (as in every time) pop up the error almost as soon as I confirm the download.

This empeg has shown signs of the drive going bad (hanging on booting), so I'm assuming this error has something to do with a bad drive (bad cluster/blocks maybe?). Does anybody know if this is the case and I should just pitch the drive and finally upgrade to a larger one?

Thanks!
