Hi, apologies if the answer to this is elsewhere - I have looked and can't find it though.

I bought a 1G MP4 player from ebuyer (Extra Value M-205 1GB Mp4 Player - Quickfind 126065) - it's a Rockchip based device. I sent my first one back as I thought it was faulty but the replacement is doing the same thing so now I think it's me!!

It came with sample files loaded that played fine. When I loaded single MP3 or JPEG pictures it all went well but then I tried loading a few MP3 files at once (multiple selection copy) - it then came back with a 'cannot copy:cannot find the specified file' error part way through the transfer. When I looked on the player, all the existing files had been corrupted and wouldn't play.

I have tried reformatting the drive - I found a guide on this site which said I should use FAT not FAT32 but that just filled it with dodgy characters and I couldn't copy anything across - so I used FAT32 which seemed to clear the memory.

Trouble is that the original problem still occurs - I can copy single files across ok (sometimes) but if I try a few together it falls over part way through one of them. It doesn't always screw up the other files, sometimes they are still playable - and strangely, when I try playing the one that caused the error message, it plays the correct track and then part way through it changes into a track that was stored BEFORE the reformat. It seems that it firstly creates a new file the size of the file to be copied - it then starts copying the file across and fails part way through - so it ends up with the part copied across plus the remainder of the file containing whatever was there before.

I'm not sure whether I'm not formatting it correctly - but then I don't know whay it screwed up in the first place straight out of the box.

Any ideas guys - otherwise I'm going to have to send this one back again and I really want to get it working.
