PC wont recognise it
 

Sorry for asking for help again so soon. For me, it seems to be either one thing wrong or another.

Now my PC wont recognise my MP4 player when I plug it in. When I try to open it manually I get a message saying something like;

"The disk in F is not formatted do you want to format it now?" What should I do?

I actually tried formatting it... which did nothing anyway, since everything I had on my player before is still there.

Sorry for being a pain! Everything just seems to be going wrong. ^_^'

Puffs-chan, Thats alright these things sometimes happen. Try "lattesurfs" excellent guide here:

This should fix the problem if you are having problems formatting.

That worked! Thanks again.

I have one problem though... since I couldn't open it up before, I have no back up of the original files that were on it. Is there anyway I can get them?

Puffs-chan, If you had important files on the player you may be able to recover them with some sort of a file recovery program provided you do not write any new files to the player before trying. The other thing you should do is make a backup copy of your players firmware in case you have any problems with your player that require a re-install.
You can download the backup tool here:

And there is a guide to using it in the Knowledge Base here:

If you get a chance it would be great if you could upload your firmware to site as it may also help someone having problems. You can upload it here:

Try to include as much information on your player and the firmware version.

I only just got this Mp4 player, so I'm not really familiar with what firmware is... This all all pretty confusing for me.

In the second part of the guide for modifying the "firmware" tells me to download "S1res" but when I try to download it, it gives me a broken link.

Puffs-chan, The firmware is like Windows is to your PC, it is the operating software of your player. You may find a newer link for s1res in the Downloads>Tools section. s1res is a theming tool if you want to change the look of the user interface but you may want to become a little more familiar with your player before trying this.
At this stage I would suggest just backing up your firmware in case of any problems. Get to know your player and it's features, then you may like to make some small modifications to your firmware like changing the battery icon or boot and shutdown animations.
Have a look through the Download>Themes section and you will see some of the themes that members have created for their players.
Most important have fun and enjoy your player :)

I'm really looking forward to customising it... I just need to get everything working first.

In s2res when I try to open the dump file I get a message saying "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format"

I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Puffs-chan, Have a look in the Settings menu on your player under Firmware version what is listed?

2006/09/12
9.0.48
2006/11/09
ACT2093_S75_SZG

Is what it says.

Puffs-chan, there are no tools for backing up or theming the 9.0.48 firmware at present so you will just have to use it as is until they become available.
