Okay I know this is probably a REALLY stupid question, but when your Zune is in portable HDD mode, can it still function as an mp3 player?

Sorry for the stupidity, but I gotta learn somewhere.

yep, functions exactly the same, only your computer reads it as a harddrive as well.

Bought my refurbed Zune this week (thx Woot!) and immediately searched for hard drive capability. Kudos to ZuneMods for being the most comprehensive site.

I'm running WinXP SP2 and can't seem to get the PC to recognize the Zune as a hard drive. I've modified the values at four different places in the registry but to no avail. I tried ControlSet001, 2, 3 and CurrentControlSet.

As I understand it, I switch the values, then close all windows, then plug in my Zune device, then fire up Zune software, and I should then be able to view the Zune device through windows. Do I have to restart at any point in the process? If/when I this succeeds, will it also work on the same computer for the new Zune I purchased for my wife?

You need to do the registry mod on every computer you want to access your Zune from.

You can try using this too.
