Oh I remember now, it's FAT32, because as you have mentioned FAT16 only supports 2gb below. About the partition table- that's actually what I meant when I said that the virus corrupted something. Although I'm not really sure how partition tables work.

I have formatted it using both Windows Explorer and a Linux partition editor. Same result. I haven't tried formatting using NTFS because the built-in XP utility does not show an NTFS option for the player's disk. Linux does not support it either. But upon your suggestion, I'll try formatting it with NTFS using another tool.

I have the option of creating a partition table using the Linux partition editor... but what effect does that have? Does it overwrite or update the old one?

Thanks again.
