What is a .CM0012 file?
A .CM0012 file is a specific type of file known as a Configuration Management File, which is associated with the Western Digital WD TV Media Player. This file is automatically created when a USB flash drive or hard drive is disconnected from the media player without properly ejecting it first. The presence of a .CM0012 file on your drive is an indication that the drive may have been corrupted due to improper removal. This corruption can prevent the media player from accessing and playing the files stored on the drive.
It is important to note that .CM0012 files should not be opened. Instead, they serve as a warning that there might be issues with the data on your drive. If you find a .CM0012 file on your USB drive and you are experiencing problems playing media from it, it suggests that the drive was not safely ejected from your media player.
To address this issue, you have a couple of options: 1. Reconnect the USB drive to your Western Digital WD TV Media Player and properly eject it using the device's safe removal process. This might resolve the corruption issue. 2. If reconnecting and properly ejecting the drive does not fix the problem, you may need to reformat the drive. However, reformatting will erase all the data stored on the drive. Therefore, if possible, connect the drive to a PC or another media player to check if you can access and transfer your files to another storage device before reformatting.
Remember, reformatting should be considered a last resort due to the loss of all data on the drive. Always ensure to safely eject your storage devices from media players or computers to avoid such issues in the future.
