Formating an MP3 player

[AgentXen]

I resently baught a Yo fun! 100 H MP3 Player.
It was working fine for the first day, but then it refued to work. Windows keep telling me that it needed to be Formated. But when ever i tryed it said "Windows was unable to finish formating". So now it wont work. Anyknow know how to format it?

Are you sure it can be used as a removable drive?

 

[AgentXen]

Yes. when i connect it it adds a drive (G). were i can drag and drop music. and when i disconnect it goes away. Any advice?

 

[LoneDeranger]

It gives you the error if you try to drag and drop?

 

[AgentXen]

no. It gives me the error when i try to open it. It says drive must be formated. and the mp3 player does not work. it shows 0 songs in it.
Does it matter what file system i choose to format it? like FAT32 or FAT?

 

[LoneDeranger]

Hmm, I dont know then. If it came with software/drivers install them and see if that helps.

 

[AgentXen]

damn... i did that. i guess i will just return it.

AgentXen, give us a screen shot of whats you got, Maybe we can help?

 

[AgentXen]

It just gives me a window saying "The disk in Drive G is not formatted. Do you want to format now?"
Then i select Yes. and it Brings up a window.
That has the following.

-Capacity 119 MB
-File System *here it gives me a choise from "NTFS", "FAT32", and "FAT" (I tryed Formating under all of them, it dint work)
After i click on Format, it gives me another window.That says "Windows was unable to complete the format."

Any suggestions?

Okay, never mind everyone. I solved the problem by buying an Ipod.

Seriously, what the hell made you think people had been waiting nearly one and a half years for an answer?
