I recently bought a 512MB MP4 player and all was going well until I used the format function in Win XP to erase all data on the disk. Ever since XP reports the capacity as only 115MB. I have tried to use disk management but it will only allow me to format or partition within the 115MB. None of the software that came with the player helps - the format facility provided will not increase back to 512MB.
I have read a couple of descriptions of using FDISK and Win98 - after several hours I still haven't managed to get my old laptop running Win98 to recognise the mp4 player despite having the drivers on the install disc. Have also downloaded a couple of programs to allow recognition of USB device through DOS but comes up with error that USB device not found.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this - is there any way to convince XP of the true capacity of the drive? Is my only option to find another Win98 computer that will recognise my player?
