Default Empty Disk! in Music mode but files can be read over USB

I have just bought a Chipod MP3/4 player "4GB". I initially tried loading it with files and ran into problems reading files above the 2GB boundary.

I could not remove the problem file names although they did show zero size after I tried deleteing them.

Anyway I then poked about in the Setup page and found "Online Mode" which I changed from "Multi drive" to "Normal Only". This appeared to cure my inability to load (readable) files beyond the 2GB boundary but I wanted to remove the empty unworkable (zero size) files. It wouldn't let me remove them over USB but I susccessfully removed one from the troubled directory using "Delete File" in the Chipod so I thought that "Delete All" would delete all in the current directory but I was wrong!

My player still operates and plays videos from another directory but it tells me that my Music directory is empty just after "initializing..." but I can still access and play all the music files over the USB and the total size is 2.19GB as read in the PC. If I try to add more files to the Music directory they playback fine when read over the USB but the Chipod still insists that the "Disk Empty!" (More correctly the directory appears empty.It sees and plays files in the Video directory.)

How can I persuade the Chipod that the files are still there?

The Firmware Version is:

QSD_1307
2007-08-03
9.1.52
2005-01-09

Thanks,

Peter
