One or two amendments that may help
1) Yes check with the tool what actual readable area is (was 1.8Gb actual on this particular device for a claimed 16Gb)
2) Run the MP3 Disc Manager software first and get it back to a single drive (even if its still saying 16Gb or whatever)
3) Do the chkflsh as above, but I found that trying to create a small FAT16 partition was impossible, chkflsh reporting it to be hundreds of Gb although I set it to 7Mb (hold mouse over slider and use cursor keys for fine adj) so I left it at a single FAT32 partition of about 1.8Gb and it works!
4) Final note, I found some of these devices have an on/off switch which needed cycled (one did the other didn't) for the device to start up again after this mod.
I tested one after format and appears OK System Memory shows as 1886Mb after loading a few songs to test.
Will try and load up 1886Mb and see what happens now, or could re run the read/write tests to see what happens.
Thanks again to the OP
