[QUOTE="Pangloss, post: 27033"] I'm not sure if this will fix your problem or not but did you try issuing the command "sudo mount -a" at a terminal prompt? I had problems with my iRiver HP20 hard disk player not auto mounting after I disconnected it without ejecting it. Here are the steps...at least under 10.3: Applications-->Utilities-->Terminal Once the command prompt starts type: sudo mount -a When prompted, enter your password Wait 10 seconds...if this worked, the drive will appear on your desk top. To be honest, the error message suggests that the root partition on the player's disk is munged and MacOS wants to reformat it...something you might not be willing to do if there's important data still on it. Nonetheless, give the UNIX moutn command a try and see what happens. Good Luck, --Pangloss [/QUOTE]
