Firmware Update:

Step 1. Download the firmware to your computer. When you download this, your browser may warn you that the file 'could be harmful'. This is normal because browsers are not familiar with files that have a .AOS extension and suspect that they could be malicious. These files are not harmful to your computer.
Step 2. Turn on your ARCHOS device and connect it to your computer with the USB cable
Step 3. Wait a few seconds for device detection
Step 4. Copy and paste the downloaded firmware (.AOS file) to the "root" of your ARCHOS device. In "Hard Drive" mode, ( E: for example ) put the update file directly onto the ARCHOS icon.
Step 5. Disconnect the Device. Use the "safe disconnect" green arrow icon in the system tray before unplugging the USB cable.
Step 6. On your ARCHOS device, click on "Update Firmware". From the main ARCHOS menu, click on "setup" or "settings", then click on the "System" icon, and finally highlight and click on the "Update Firmware" button.
