    Hi, Francisco...

    I've been working. I had planned to try it tonight, but I got called in on my night off to deliver pizza for Papa John's. It may take me until Friday or Saturday again to have the time, due to my having 2 jobs and needing sleep! ZZZZZZZ.... (LOL)

    Thanks so much for checking on me...

    David

    Thank you for posting your instructions. I just bought a used zune hd that would not sync and kept asking to be updated. I was starting to give up hope until I found your posts. It took me two days, but in going back and forth over all the posts here, I was able to figure out what to do and what I was doing wrong. Your video cinched it. I plugged in my Zune, said "here goes nothing" and the firmware updated. You are a lifesaver. Thanks again.
