Default My half dead player
Well I just got my MP4 player, the one that looks like the iPod nano with the Sony name on it. And here's what happened.

I formatted it wrongly in Windows, instead of FAT I formatted it FAT32, not once, but twice as I didn't read the manual and there was problems in transferring files to the player. And now here's what happens when I turn the player on.

Click the image to open in full size.

The screen just shows the hourglass sign and nothing happens. It stays like that forever. I've left it on for 5hrs and it still stays there. When I plug it in the computer it detects the hardware, but it can't be installed, so the device won't show up on My Computer. I've tried the driver CD provided but that didn't work either. I'm on WinXP btw. I've also tried it on my other computer and the same thing happens. So I've done all I can to solve the problem but looks like I just don't know enough about this thing.

Thanks in advance.
