Original Zune (30GB); latest firmware; s/w 3.1.620; Windows XP Pro, SP3.

Had previously run this hack successfully, but now find that I get a regedit error "Cannon edit PortableDeviceNameSpaceExclude­FromShell error writing the value's new contents." Goal is to copy some files from the Zune, as they're no longer on my hard drive.

Zune is unconnected from PC

I got my Zune to show up but I can't copy anyting to my Hard Drive. Why

[stab2killnecks]

disconnect your zune and shut down zune app. you have to type in devicenamespace exactly like i just did all in one word .then your files will come up. not the actual name of whatever you named you'r zune.

Okay so I did everything and it worked, but I'm having a problem.

As long as the Zune software is closed I am able to click on the zune icon (through 'My Computer') but nothing appears and I cannot access the "Storage" icon. However, when the Zune software is not running, I am able to get to the storage and see all the folder, but when I go to add something it tells me the file could not be placed on the device because I don't have permission....Can you help me?!

i have a zune hd and when i try to connect to wifi it never does it just says connecting. when i go to the internet the screen goes black and locks up so i have to restart it. if there is anyway to get it to work correctly that'd be awesome if someone could tell me how to do that.
