My desktop (XP Pro SP3) does not recognize my Sansa e280
When I first connected the player to the desktop it was recognized. After SansaUpdater was installed, the player says "Connected" but XP says nothing (device manager does not show removable drive either).

Try going into the control panel/administrative tools/Disk options
Change the drive letter of the Sansa (if it shows up) or any other removeable drive that may be conflicting with the drive letter. This includes network drive mappings.
In the player settings there may be an option something as "USB mass storage device" enable that if so ....
there may be some manufacture defect .... make use of the warranty if you have it ... before that try it in another pc ..
because there may be some problem in the OS in your pc...
once you try resetting your player i think there is a option in player
Hi,
The most common reason for this problem is not having the latest Windows Media Player installed, or having a Windows OS version that is not supported by the Sansa player.
The Sansa players support Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista and above. If your operating system version is supported by the Sansa player, there are 4 solutions you can try:
SOLUTION 1 – Download and install the latest Windows Media Player
SOLUTION 2 – If you're running Windows Vista, apply the following hotfix - KB940199
SOLUTION 3 – Download and Install the MTP Porting Kit
SOLUTION 4 – Try connecting the device to the PC using MSC mode
View/c200: Turn on & press and hold the rewind button while connecting to the PC
Fuze/e200: Go to Settings > System Settings > USB Mode & select MSC
Clip: Go to Settings > USB mode & select MSC
It could also be a problem with your mp3 player's usb port.
Try the first four steps mentioned..........If they didn't work then revert back to me because it be usb port problem of your mp3 player.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks
Try uninstall of the updated driver. then istall the original driver and connect the usb to the player. this should work. apparently the update may not work with your model of player or the updated driver has a glitch. please rate if successfull
The software problem is there in the system.
call a technician at your place and he will upgrade the software and it will work.
hope this solves your problem.
thanks.
please rate the solution.
If your player still unrecognizable by your computer then try another usb device and see if still the same happening. if not then try to download a USB driver from www.usbman.com
try to use windows media player and rip your recordings to it. you can adjust by the quality of yuor recordings and rip it with types like mp3 or wma. if your mp3 is containing with mp3 files then it should be dropable. hope that helps!

If the installation of the sansa updater was recent. i will suggest to do a system restore.
The steps are mentioned below.
Start>All Programs>Accessoraies>System Tools>System Restore>Next
Choose a date when the sansa updater was not installed.
System restore takes your system back to a previous date and any software changes on the computer and reversed.
I hope that helps
All The Best

I'm going to recommend that you remove the software and updater for the Sansa and reinstall it. It sounds as if you had a bad download.
Still going to say bad download, and reinstall the software and drivers.
Try to use a different USB cable.
Turn off your computer. Turn off the player. Turn on the mp3 player first then the computer. Check if that fixed it.
Try to unplug/replug the player or better try to connect it on a different USB port then after that restart the computer that should do the trick..
Hope that helps.....
If that's teh case the next thing that you can try here is to connect this player on a different computer and hopefully it will be detected on a different computer if still not this can be a problem with the software of the player...
If there's any software update for the player you can do that first and hopefully it will fix the problem of yoru player..
