[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1100171, member: 38864"] Hmmmph. On re-reading this thread, I see I did overlook a few things. Dangit I'm getting old. Ok… so this was a media player that got reformatted. I'm wondering if the software on the player itself is corrupted or missing from reformatting it (which I imagine should never have been done in the first place). I'm trying to find some kind of support info on their website, but it's next to useless. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that perhaps the drive is only readable with the help of the player's software/hardware, and reformatting the device wiped out the software side. That… or actually considering that the device and files appeared to be fine after formatting and copying files to it, then it was put in storage, and later found to be missing files and not working correctly… the drive or some other hardware has failed. Perhaps the drive had 2 internal flash drives… one at 700MB that has failed while in storage, the other 200MB one that is still working. Sitting out in the garage, I'm wondering what temperature extremes it may have been exposed to that it shouldn't have been. EDIT: Ah nevermind. Now I see the OP said the player can still see both partitions. Sorry guys for muddling things up here… I'm having trouble following the original post for some reason. [/QUOTE]
