You need 4.18 version

Hello, I just installed the 4.18 version but half way through, this msg appeared.

C:/DOCUME~1/COMPAQ~/LOCALS~1/Temp/RAR$D189.000/MSI.CAB

i noticed that there was a file that says Msi.CAB but I'm not sure if i should do anything to it. I also tried Msien.msi and just setup.exe...

if it doesn't work, is there another program I can use?

I also downloaded the media player 10, direct x 9.0 and the codec bundle....Also, an another note, its a 16GB fake ipod nano..I want to see if the memory is real and i heard you can plug the ipod in, in My Computer, right click the plugged in ipod and do format. I'm not sure if it really works because the memory remained the same.

Just the same But I received it after using H2testW.
Moreover, after few attempts to connect it to PC it doesn't powerr off
I only can see "welcome" screen and after that player switching off.
Can I bring back to life this player?

I have another solution !
I have hacked 16 ipod like player

You need Gparted linux utility for exeample http://rip.7bf.de/current/
Burn .iso and boot from burned CD
Shouse x32bit kernel -start x skip keymap prompt
After you boot to GUI press right mouse button to get menu
choise Application - partition tools - Gparted
Find you player in the right corner
Delete all current partition
I create one partition of 2 Gb (1950 Kilobyte) if i create 2048 kb i get a "Disk Error " on the player
Now player works fine

This solution is VERY safe It only create smaller partiton

Partition Slider can't be moved to the right?

I've read your message and thought hey that might be the solution to my mp4 player. it has the same symptoms, like some songs are played some are not...
i did what You have written (from step 1 to step 5) and found everything just the same as You have written. but at the end, when i put some files on the player, it said "disk error" in each cases (music, video, record...)
anyway it turned out to be a real 8 gb player...
what should i do? or try? any guesses?
thx a lot

i tried the following. after step 2 (moving the slidebar to the right) the player works as if it would be ok, but it only has a memory of 17mb. but when i move it back to the left it sais disk error. next i moved it to 8170-128 than to 8170-256 than to 8170-512 and 8150-1024 and it worked (i had 2 partitions: one with 1024 and the rest) but when i tried it more than 2 gb it said disk error again. this might be a hacked player, right?
can i leave the 2 partitions if it works in this way?

Hello
Can anyone please suggest how best to proceed?
I've been suckered on a "32Gb" unit (presumed actual 2), fortunately I did not pay as much as some.
Previous experience with eBay and Paypal has shown that their dispute process is a sham so I would prefer to have a useable 2gb.
I have tried the rdiskutility - 'mp3 player disk manager' software but cannot carry out the action to "move slider to right" to increase the encrypted disk capacity.

The info I can provide is:
The device always shows 2 drives (xp x64 machine), the first drive letter "reports" 29.6 gb, the second zero.
The utility software only offers the first drive letter, capacity reported as 1682 mb
on the partition tab disk total capacity is reported as zero mb (which may provide a clue why the slider won't move)

Should I format it as zero in case it makes some change that then allows another format to 2gb?

Any other suggestions?


It is a real shame that these things are fraudulently described, as this version has a useable touchscreen, plays 320 x 240 video on a reasonably bright screen and (within the limitations of a minute lens size) takes acceptable stills and video.
