Default "Format Error"

Hi,

I'm facing a problem when I play MP3 and AMV files on my player (config is copied below). It was working well initially, but after a few transfers, the same songs when played now display "Format Error". I've tried formatting, but the problem persists.

My observation is this:

1) It seems like a random possibility. When I transfer song files singly, that is one at a time, most songs transfer well. when I do bulk transfer, most files give format error.

2) In case of transfers, one song at a time, if I get the error, then I try deleting and copying it again. So when copying a file repeatedly, it sometimes works but sometimes it doesn't.

Had there been truly a problem related to format, then it should have reproduced itself each time. But it doesn't. Probably it is something to do with the FAT format of the players. I suspect this because, when I format my player using the FORMAT command, cmd says that the cluster size (64k) is not appropraite for FAT, would you like to keep it? Also, it says, for drives >4 GB, FAT is not appropriate; by the way, I have a 4 GB player. Here is the config:

LG MP3 Player
LS101V12
CM70033
ACT_V9.0.50

Can any one help me troubleshoot this?
