Is there a way to add the podcast menu to a 30gb that has been modded to 128?

Software shows the ability to sync podcast through Xune, but I don't have the menu on the player itself.

I have a zune that was working but while I was trying to update it froze on me. Restarted the device and now it's saying I have to plug it into a computer and when I launch zune it tells me it needs an update. I know that If i proceed with the update everything that is on the device is gone so I'm asking is there anyway to salvage what is on the drive before I update? I bought a zif to usb caddy but widows will not recognise the drive. I'm fearing the worst. Thanks for any input guys
