I got it to work, mostly. I had a couple of problems with the Mp4 Disk Tool not recognizing the partitions on the mp4's disk, but I fixed that by formatting it with the HP format tool thing... but that's not usually a problem for people. If you can format the mp4 player using the MP4 disk tool thing, do this:
Open it up, and google the part number on the Nand Flash chip. I was able to figure out that mine had 1gb.
Next, subtract that from the total amount of space that the Disk tool says you have.
Then, move the slider over until the encrypted partition is the size of the fake memory, or until the 'normal' partition is the actual size of your mp4 player. Then do a full format/repartition.
You'll know if you got the size wrong, because you'll end up with either 'Disk Error' or continuous 'emtpy disk' messages.
If you don't want to open it up, you can use the disk tool to figure out how much memory it has. First, slide the slider all the way to the right. then, slide it to the left a little bit and reformat. Then copy something to the disk and see if your mp4 will play it. If it does, slide it to the left more, reformat again, and test it again. Keep doing this until you reach the point on the slider at which the mp4 player stops playing your files. For me, it was 7146 encryped, 1024 normal.
Basically, if you make the 'normal' partition bigger than the actual amount of memory your player has, it won't be able to read it.
I also thought it was kind of annoying that the mp4 player would pop up with two disks, when i knew that one of them was just hacked memory. I went into the 'online mode' menu, where you can tell it to just display the normal partition, so now it just shows up as a 1gb drive. Which is good, because that's what it is.
Sorry if this didn't make much sense - I got 3 hours of sleep last night and haven't eaten anything yet.
so if you're confused, let me know and i'll try to answer any more questions...
