chef drew , use the MP3 Utilities Disk Tool that came with your player, or HP Format Tool. Both of which can be downloaded from the downloads section.
Next, do a low-level format on your player. It should format your player to a proper FAT file system, which can be reconisged by your computer.

If you are unable to format using the above tools, another way would be to Right-click on My Computer >> Manage >> Disk Management, and select the player's drive and right click and select Format. Chose FAT file system when formatting.

chef drew, Try this process for formatting your player

and if you got a trojan from MP3 Player Utilities you will find a clean version here and info on how to manually delete the old install.
