hypnotick · #1 (**permalink**) 9th Feb 2009, 8:23 pm

i accidentally deleted all my mp3 player files.. so when i connect my mp3 player to my pc the driver appears as E:/ ,but there are no files in the folder.. so i can't add or play any files, songs, pics etc. but it does turn on and the fm radio works fine n everything looks fine. except i get a "disk error" when i try to click on a video or song on my mp3 player ??? is there any way i can get a copy of anyone who has the same mp3 player version or a place or link i can download these files to copy them back to my mp3 player?.. thanks.. by the way im new to this website... any help is appreciated...thanks in advance.

my ipod is a 4gb ipod nano clone

Firmware v
MP3 PLAYER
BKSC91N215_32

You need to reformat the drive.

I don't think a Format is needed. when drive E opens up you see 0 files or folders in it..Try draging and droping some MP3 files in the E folder, see what happens..

If you really want to reformat..click on My Computer, right click on E: find format in the drop down box & follow the prompts.

Read the memory hack thread..it tells you how to reformat..

Your lucky..at least your PC is picking yous up..Mine are just sticking on the hourglass & my PC doesn't recogonize the device..

Good Luck!

Glad you got it working.

Where and who did you buy it from by the way?

If you paid by PayPal, I would highly recommend you file a DISPUTE with PayPal and try to get a partial refund for it. There's no point in sending it back as the cost would be too high but if you get a partial refund, at least you'll get the player for a lot cheaper!

i actually did buy it off ebay and paid by paypal but it was about 1 year ago, and i canceled my credit card from my ebay account.. is there any other way to get the refund?
