A friend bought one of those 4 GB gizmos and dumped on my lap to make it work.

Here is the deal: The directory got corrupted so I tried to format it with the "MP3 player Disk tool" but it didn't want to format it. So I clicked the partition tab and somehow I let me format it but now I only get 233MB. When I try to format it with the Windows formating tool it won't let me; it says that there is a applications running and such.

At this point I would be happy if I get 2 GB I (even 1 GB ) but 233MB is ridiculous can anybody help me with this.
