Hi Kartu, thanks for your help!
1) I was trying to load a large pdf and the battery drained before it ever opened. It never went beyond the 'loading book' screen, but I could still see the drives in Windows at that point.
2) After recharging with the wall charger overnight, I tried to hard boot (arrow down, zero key) to bring things back to baseline. Now it just hangs on the loading screen.
3) If I do the 10 reboot sequence, I can force the update screen, but it shows revision 0.0.0.0 and I only see a drive with 44K and a protected file. I ran the 505/300 updater on it, and although it never gets beyond the loading screen I can see two drives (empty, but inaccessible) in Windows. I cannot format or run checkdisk on these drives.

Calibre no longer see the device.

How do I re-apply the original 300 firmware (or any 300 firmware) to my 300 if I cannot copy files to one of the drives?
