I have multiple .jpg pictures that I want to put on my n3 as a background. I burned them to a cd in a folder called "bg", and I put 100+ mb of random crap onto the CD, I think it was the root folder for a game or something.

Anyway, I put the cd in the n3, on the screen is says "Reading Format" and I just keep hearing the laser move and click around trying to read it. All of a sudden, the entire unit goes dead. It turns back on again with a black screen and in little white letters at the top "PIoneer navigation is starting up" or something to that effect. I then got the cd out of there and put my nav disc back in.

What the hell happened?

killed? maybe a harsh presumption ?

Ok maybe killed was too strong. Nevertheless it didn't work, what happened?

What type of "random crap" did you put on the disc?

Like I said in the first post, a system folder on my hard drive. Something out of the windows root directory I think.

Ya, probably put some stuff in there the system didn't like. I myself just put a bunch of video files on it ending with .avi and didn't have a problem.

Is this a newer thing where you have to fill it with random stuff? On my N1 I just put the 20 pictures in the folder and THAT'S IT. Nothing else. It has always worked.

I didn't have to put anything besides the background photos, worked fine.
