Now, when I connect zaurus with usb cable, it says the hardware wizard is recognizing SL series Ver 3 (NDIS 5) and wants me to install from CD or specific location.

Now what?

How do I get my PC to recognize the Zaurus for file transfer etc?

It is refering to the usb driver you downloaded, I hate to say it - Windows is stupid this way. But tell windows that you will sellect the driver you want, and use "have disk" and browse it to the usb file you downloaded.

I did that. but it still shows the network connection as the SL....

Should I uninstall the driver? and try again?

Yes, give it another try, but do not let windows search for the driver. Select where it says that you will choose the driver, and click continue where you get the pop-up for device signing. It's stupid, I know, but ut is the only way for Windows to see your device and the driver. I hope this helps, it will get easier, trust me.

Okay, got it to grab the driver I downloaded and it says its installed correctly and ready. But, I tried PC Link and it doesn't work.

Am I trying the USB - I/O or USB - TCP/IP

The TCP one gives me error, and the other one I/O just keeps communicating, but nothing happens.

and when I click on add new hardware, it finds all drivers its found, and there are quite a few, including two that are:

SL series V3 (WDM)
SL series V3 (NDIS 5)

or should I actually continue and add new hardware and start over?

-----
when the C1000 is plugged in to PC, it shows up as SL series V3 (NDIS 5)

I can uninstall it while its connected, I just don't want to delete something off of C1000 that I need.

Did you read the section on connectivity in the wiki? www.oesf.org

These are the two methods I use to connect my Z to my Windows XP box
The first is "Storage mode" - The second is "TCP/IP over USB"

Storage mode
I don't use my Z to sync, but if you just want your Z to appear as a storage device in Windows, do the following:
On the Zaurus, Go to Settings > PC Link.
In PC Link, select "Storage" (Make sure USB cable is unpluged when changing settings in PC Link). Click OK at top right.
Now, plug in your Zaurus to your Windows PC, a message will pop up on your Z. Click OK in the popup.
Wait about 10 seconds, (I have to wait because my Zaurus is parsing my Zaurus's hard drive.)
In windows, open "My Computer". There should be a new removable disk or removable storage.
This is your Zaurus. Depending on what settings you used in PC Link on the Zaurus, you'll be able to open your CF card, SD card, or Documents folder.
(My "Documents" folder on my Z is on my hard drive, yours should be in flash memory on your Z)
PC Link Storage mode, only allows you to access one thing at a time (ie CF, SD, Documents dir).

TCP/IP over USB
I won't explain TCP/IP over USB
There are several methods to accomplish this. These are two very helpful threads to get you connected.
One uses a "Bridge" to bridge your lan card on a high speed connection.
The other uses "Internet Connection Sharing" (I use this, because the "Bridge method didn't work for me)

Internet Connection Sharing method

Bridge method

Hope this helps,
Jon

Thanks.

I won't be able to connect wirelessly or through internet at all.

I tried the storage mode. and I got no window on the Zaurus that had an ok button, it just has a screen saying "communicating with PC" and I do have a removable disk drive on My computer, but when I click on it, it says "Please insert a disk into Drive E:" Also the screen with communicating with PC is still on Zaurus through all of this. and I have to remove the usb cord to stop the screen.

and the only settins under Storage on PC Link, is CF card and SD card.

I want to be able to move files/photos/music etc and software from PC to Zaurus.

If you mean the screen shown in the screenshot below, that is OK
You'll need to go into PC Link, with cable disconnected, and make a selection next to "Storage" in the dropdown box.
You need a CF card or SD card inserted, to be able to select one of them.
I don't have an SL-C1000, but I assumed you would have a 3rd selection in the dropdown.
Mine says "Internal-HDD" (I have an SL-C3100 with hard drive)

Jon,
That's a good tip.
Works great on my CF card, but not the SD card because that is formatted as ext2, and my windows pc keeps telling me the drive is not formatted, and asks if I want to format it now.

Screenshot of PC Link with Storage mode and SD Memory card selected

Jon_J · « **Reply #55 on:** October 02, 2006, 09:08:28 pm »

there is a website to get a driver for windows that will let you read ext2, ext3 filesystems under windows.
Let me find it and I'll post it here.
http://www.fs-driver.org/ (site is kinda slow at the moment..)
Here's a screenshot of an SD card formatted as ext2, and in Windows with above driver soft installed.

dougeeebear · « **Reply #56 on:** October 02, 2006, 09:18:00 pm »

I have already tried that driver, but I always get that pesky pop-up error message regarding delayed writes to it.
It shows the card's files with no problem, but I can't get past that error message.

Thanks anyway...

Mine only has CF and SD card under Storage. So, I guess it won't work for the internal Flash

I plan on getting a SD card soon and I'm hoping I can select that under PC Link and have it show up correctly under "My computer". I guess one can only save to SD or CF cards on the C1000. It's strange I can't transfer software to the C1000 without a SD or CF card.

Also, I take it once the files etc are on the SD card, I'll be able to move what ever files to selected folders on the Internal flash?

Fishcube, I assumed that popup window was also in Sharp Rom.
If you don't get the popup, just ignore my mention of it. It pops up in Cacko after a fresh reboot, the first time you connect USB.

fishcube · « **Reply #59 on:** October 03, 2006, 10:57:30 am »

I was hoping to install some camera software so I could connect my camera to the Zaurus while we are visiting family this weekend.

But, I won't be able to get a SD card by then.

Is there another way to get files back and forth without using internet?
