Hi Lattesurf and Binh,

Thanks for your help. I have made modest progress.

Firstly, apologies, I got my sums wrong on the files I had added. The player does scramble anything over the 2GB boundary.

I tried to follow the format instructions in Lattesurf's link but I failed to get the "Success" message. The USB lost the connection and never regained it.

Having said that I can now power-up the player and it no longer gives me the "Disk Empty" message. The directory appeared empty on the player so I created a directory "Music" and added some files. The player bombed out whilst the files were being downloaded saying disk full but I now have a small set of music files playable on the player.

Do you think I should run the format process again?

Further to this.. I went to "online mode" and selected "multi drive". Looking
on my PC I now see a small drive where my music files are and a separate empty 2GB drive. I tried creating a "Videos" directory in there and loading a video. This works but the MP3 player does find this drive and reports "Disk Empty" in the video player.

Thanks,

Peter
