Sony NWZ-X1050 Won't Mount on Linux Debian Lenny

[lorsban]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if you could help. I just got an X1050 since I thought the player would revert to removable disk if I'm not on Windows like it said it would.

However, whenever I try connecting it, an icon pops up that says "Sony Walkman," but when I try clicking on it, it says "Unable to Mount Media" and "There's probably no media in the drive."

I'm stumped here. I have another Sony Product (Sony Reader) that's said to work the same way: Windows only but reverts to removable disk on everything else.

So, I really don't know what's up. I Really really do not want to use windows man.

Please help!

regards,

lorsban

My first post

Ok. I am using GNU/Linux for more than 12 years, and already stayed away from Microsoft OS since 2000 . Hope I can help you.

Now, please paste the dmesg command results, especially after 30 seconds after you pluggin your X.

Also, paste the lsusb result here.

Thank you.

Hello bahathir!

Thanks for your reply and welcome to Anythingbutipod! Hope I can follow your example and be M$-free as well!

Anyway, here's dmesg:

Ok, your system can detect the X and try to mount it...

There were problem related to the partition which prevent mount to mount it.

Now, run this fdisk -l /dev/sdb. I want to look at the partition structure.

TQ.

Here it is, man I wish I could make sense of it like you can:

Disk /dev/sdb: 16.1 GB, 16139354112 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1962 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf26d47c4

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 1962 15759733+ 83 Linux

I'm using an EeePC 901. It has 2 disks, one's 4gb, another is 16gb.

[lorsban]

Hey, I think it is my pc that's the problem since I can mount it on my wife's laptop which is also an EeePC but with the stock Xandros Distro. It's also Debian based, though but an older version.

[bahathir]

Sorry wrong instructions.

Run fdisk -l /dev/sdd not /dev/sdb as I showed earlier .

Also, you can try the debian's forum for the some pointers.

TQ.

Weird. In dmesg kernel detected the X as

[ 144.460673] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdd] 7705088 2048-byte hardware sectors (15780 MB)


but the fdisk saw it differently.
Disk /dev/sdd: 8168 MB, 8168931328 bytes

Something is wrong. Most probably you need to update your system.

Also can you try the fdisk -l at your wife's netbook after you plugged in the X.

[lorsban]

Mine checks for updates daily so I'm pretty sure it's updated. But, I'll check on my wife's laptop and get back to you.

Thanks again for the help!

Hey,

Just did fdisk -l /dev/sdd:

Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)

Disk /dev/sdd: 15.7 GB, 15780020224 bytes
1 heads, 32 sectors/track, 240784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 32 * 2048 = 65536 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 1 134217728 4294967294 ff BBT
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Not sure why it gave a different reading before.

[bahathir]

Yes, that is totally weird. I assumed the you fdisk -l at the different device.

Now, from, your 'correct' fdisk, you can see that the partition table is not correct.
My suggestions:

1) Backup your songs/files with other system/OS.
2) Correcting the partition
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-260315.html

2b) You also can use the fdisk.. but... I'll teach you later .. Anyway backup your files first.

[lorsban]

Cripes, man! It looks complicated! haha!

Does it mean that the partitions in the player itself are messed up or the partitions on the computer? If it's the player, how come it works with my wife's laptop? If it's the player, can I simply format the player?

Sorry for the noob question. Totally new at this particular thing.

[lorsban]

Tried formatting the player but still same old same old. Worried about repairing it via pc debian console as I might royally mess up my player.

[bahathir]

Actually, if you followed the solution in the link, I don't think it is hard. The testdisk apps is a data recovery tool, and able to repair partition related issues. As I mentioned earlier, you have to backup your files first, and start repairing/repartitioning. After you repartition, you can try to access it using your netbook. Then, you format it using the player's format function.

Good luck .

Nothing is hard. It just need practice and a litter experience .

[lorsban]

Ok, I ran testdisk. Analysed the player's drive. Not sure if it fixed it though but it does look different from before (fdisk -l /dev/sdd):

Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)

Disk /dev/sdd: 15.7 GB, 15780020224 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 3762 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 2048 = 4194304 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 * 1 3763 15413238 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

Everything's still on the player tho. Glad for that. However, I still can't mount it.

[bahathir]

Analyze do not repairs partition. you need to go further... If you backed up your files, then no need to be worry.

Please refer to this wiki for some examples how to use the testdisk.

Good Luck.

[bahathir]

Ok, I did a detailed investigation.

1) If you format the internal memory storage, fdisk -l will shows

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)

Disk /dev/sdb: 31.8 GB, 31879856128 bytes
1 heads, 32 sectors/track, 486448 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 32 * 2048 = 65536 bytes

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1   134217728  4294967294   ff  BBT
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

As you can see, the partition start from block 1 and finished at 'nirvana' : (2^32 -2) Normal partition should starts from block 2 and ends at 31132608
Notice the partition type.... it should be 0b (FAT32)

2) But, on my Slamd64 GNU/Linux, I can mount it eiher with /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 without any complaint.

So in your case, you can try mount it with.... (if your X is /dev/sdd)
0) create a mount point : # mkdir /mnt/sony
1) # mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/sony
or
1b) # mount /dev/sdd /mnt/sony

And see whether your system complaints. If everything in order, your X can be accessible through directory /mnt/sony

Please remember umount the mount point before you pull out the usb cable
# umount /mnt/sony
and wait until you get the command prompt.

Hope this guide is helpful.

TQ.

[lorsban]

Man, thanks a TON for all your help. I'll try it out ASAP and get back to you.
