I have had my archos 605 wifi 80gb for over year now and just recently when i load new songs on from my pc they either won't play and the screen freezes, or they play for a couple of secs or mins then it freezes and does nothing. I keep having to restart my archos when it freezes. It also won't let me rip some of the tracks from my archos back onto my pc. My archos has 1gb of room left so it's not that it's too full. I have cleaned pc and scanned for errors and it all seems to be OK. Can you help as i have a lot of hard to find music on it and cannot store it all on my laptop as the memory is too small.
You may have a bad sector on the HDD where those files has been saved. Please check my other fix responses to be able to format your HDD and reinstall the firmware version 2.1 which is the latest one right now. I recommend after the HDD formatted do a disk repaire using Windows. Keep it mind you will lose all the contents and plugins from loaded to the device you need to decide which one is more important saving the Archos or losing the contends. If you be play it safe i'd say send it to archos and have them replace the HDD it costs about 150-170 $ but they will be able to put your plugins back in. and you will have 3 months warrant on their fix.

as long as you have the data still saved on you computer, you can re download your missing information.
