I've got the same problem with my archos 504, and I know what to do when I find the Archos folder- copy the firmware into the root- but I can't find the folder. I tried looking for it with windows explorer, but I'm not sure where I'd find it, other than in My Computer (and I've looked there).I've got the same problem with my archos 504, and I know what to do when I find the Archos folder- copy the firmware into the root- but I can't find the folder.

I had the same problem. However although my pc didn't automatically recognise the archos device when connected it did show when explorer was opened. I downloaded the latest firmware from the Archos website and dragged into the root directory of Archos. The device then picked this up and everything was fine. Previously I had tried repair and format. Obviously all the demo video and photos etc are wiped.

hey, did you sort this out? If so, how?cause I have the exact same problem...If I manage to be fast enough to press the button to "recover" or "format" before the screen freezes then it just goes into recovery for ages but accomplishes nothing. My computer doesn't recognize my archos so oI can't upload anything or update anything.?????
When I switch on my Archos device, the following message is displayed: "Would you like to recover your system?" What does it mean and what should I do?
You are on the recovery mode screen. It means that your hard drive has been damaged and must be repaired or formatted. With this system recovery mode, you will have to select between "Repair Disk" and "Format Disk". Start by selecting "Repair Disk" and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. See the full PDF manual (available on the Archos web site) on how to use the Repair and Format options.
If repairing the disk did not work, try formatting the disk by selecting "Format Disk". Note that the formatting will erase all data.
If you still cannot restart your Archos after trying a system recovery, you should contact Archos technical support.
i beleive that when it says the system is damaged, it means some files may have been corrupted or harmed. i don't think recovering it would bad. this should go through and make sure all files are intact
recovery code 102 screen - this error message means the the hard disk has failed - I am guessing that the unit has been dropped at some point - Sorry but it back to Archos - The UK number is 0207 949 0115
I was watching a film on mine and it paused and I hade to hold in the power button to shut it off. When I restarted it I get that error message too. I
did the same as everyone else with no luck, so I left it on thinking
that maybe running the battery down and charging it again might help
but no luck. I left it for a week then decided to have another go at fixing it. I removed the battery and used the reset button to set it to factory defaults. I
powered it up and got the error message and tried the USB cable again
(Can't remember for sure if it was on or off when I connected it) and I
got the option of connecting to my PC and copying a system update to it. I downloaded the update and copied it to the harddrive and it then updated itself and restarted. It booted up ok but when I restarted it I get the error message again. I redid the first bit again and using the XP Disc Management I removed the partition, then redone it. I restarted the 604 and formatted the harddrive and copied the update and it updated and restarted again. The pointer needs to be calabrated again on it to work but it's back to normal now and working great. I
set everything up and copied all the folders into a folder on my PC so
if it happens again I just need to fix the harddrive and copy the files
over.
it sounds like the partition that hold the recovery files has got damaged,i suggest you talk to the manufacturer or supplier on how to overcome this problem,if it was a pc i would say format hard drive & re-install the software but its not .
good luck
