Dazza-E-, can you upload your backup to Rapidshare and leave me a link so I can check it out.

Ok great news, I have the player working again... the downside is ive lost 2gb somewhere along the way. The mp3 disk tool locates the i have 3.9GB but wont allow me to format the drive for some reason or other, I get the message :-

"not supporting disk type"

I think it was the FAT32 which was the problem... but like i say i have lost 2gb somewhere which is a bit gutting to be honest but at least it works !

Dazza-E-, Ok glad to hear your player is running again. There is some debate as to if 4GB chiPod's actually exist. Most have much smaller chips that have been hacked so that they read as 4GB memory chips. Formatting removes the hack and reveals the true size of the chip. FAT32 seems to be part of the hack. The only way to find out your true chip capacity is to note it's brand (Samsung or Hynix etc) and the part number then do a Google with this info you should be able to find specification info.

Here is a post that explains th e situation

You are lucky in one way some 4GB players have ended up being 128 or 256 MB chips.

Anyway glad you are up and running. If you want to theme your firmware find a theme you want and load the images using s1res into your own firmware dump.bin

Here is a tutorial on how to do it.

yer i found a piece of software that fixed the fat32 problem its manfactured by HP but it helped me out by letting me format in fat32. The only problem I have now is that the player is strange in windows media player with the sync, any idea's on fixing that.

Dazza-E-,
Sorry i do not use it I just copy and paste.

Ah well no problem, can always do that ! :).

You've been a superstar m8, cheers for that you got any nice theme's I could use ? That are the same as ipod or like two.
