Hi All,

Can anyone help me with this, I have a MP4 Player of 512MB and i loaded around 100songs in it but when i play them after 30 songs its getting restarted automatically and starting from the first song, so i checked the solution for files geetting corrupted in the forum and tried formatting the palyer with MP3 Disk Tool i did a low format while formatting says read write area and after reaching 99% it gave a error
Error : RDiskutility.exe encountered problem and will be closed.Sorry for the inconvience send the error or dont send
When i click on ok my player is formatted and all the 512MB is freee but the problem is when i load the songs its paying only 30 songs

try this:

Go to control panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/storage.

select disk managment.

right click on E drive. What is condition of drive? Healthy???? How much space???
Give all details, and all steps, and all results or I cannot help you.

select format. Post results

Alternatively you could do a format from command prompt, E.G. :
"E: format "

Alternatively, download this:

Have you tried that tool from HP?
Does it work ok in terms of formatting the drive of the player?
I would be interested to know..... I'm trying to find a tool that formats larger HDD players to just FAT16. Does that tool you recommend do it?

hi Binh,

Yep. In fact just last night.

I was testing new 2gb player's capacity (after all these posts re: fake chips) just to be sure mine was really 2gb. When I got to 1.6gb file size, I turned it off, then back on, and language had changed to chinese, and files were corrupted! Played for a couple of seconds, then "format error!"
message.
Windoze saw drive, but all data was corrupt. Could not format w/ Windoze, but this little tool did the trick, 1st try and w/ just 'quick format' option.
All files have been restored, and no probs. Go figure?! 1.7gb on drive now.
Highly recommended.
