I too bought a hacked player. This one is a 16gb nano clone. When I performed the memory hack removal I end up with 1.89gb. But it will only let me put 988mb of mp3s on it. It shows the 1.9gb size but will only let me use half. Any ideas on how to make the other half available?

Got lucky, reformatted using FAT32 and recovered the other half of my players memory. So now my "16gb" player is a true 1.9 gb player.

I just tried the info above to see if my 4GB Chipod Nano clone was really 4gb. Well, after doing the above it does in fact say 4gb. Actually, it's more like 3.82GB. Is it possible that it is a real 4gb player?

Hi, I have similar problem to some of the other people in here. I have tried different versions of the tool MP3 player disk tool, but it would not see the player connected and when I go to "Partition and Encrypt" menu, I am not able to slide the slider right. My player looks like this http://mympxplayer.org/image-full-asp631.html and it has a sticker that says 8 GB on the back, I bough tit recently on ebay, but I get format errors and loose files and my PC (Vista) also sometimes gives disk error and has to scan the flash to recover from error. With a few MP3 music it works fine. Have those with similar problem managed to solve it? Please tell me how if you have.

Hi rimaamir and richardwad1,

Try formatting your player in WINDOWS instead and see if that helps resolve the problem.

Ok Guys, Not my first time using this tool so when I received 3 supposedly 8GB players on ebay I decided to run the hack test..bad idea!

I did everything as outlined in the how to guide above..

On opening the MP3 Disk Tool it detected drive F:
Capacity said 4072.31MB I set Format type to low & proceeded to partition/encrypt. Disk total capacity in there said 8170MB so I slid the bar to the right..still said 8170 above. Did the P/E and 2 drives appeared F: & J: ......F: was in FAT and had something like 17.2 MB & J: was in FAT32 and had something like 3.95GB ...so I slid the bar all the way to the left & hit start..When it finished only one drive appeared (F

it had 3.96GB

When I went to drive F: and clicked on the Format with windows it was reading 7.97GB and FAT32 seems impossible to me....usually after completing the how to above it showed actual memory..When I eject the player and check memory info from the Mp3 setup menu it says 0% of 00MB

NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! Is there anything I can do to bring back what ever memory was on there??? 1GB sounds good at this stage in the game..LOL

It's an Actions player AK2025 9.5.54 firmware v
Do not use the how to guide for this type of firmware or player...at least until I get mine fixed..

Any help from the mods would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks
