Most likely your player is really 128mb.

You can not make the size any bigger than what the chip really is.

The trick done by the scammers makes the size of the memory seem bigger than what it really is. But it is not.

It can not be made 128mB.
Some of the 128mB is lost to formatting of the drive. This is normal.
When the player starts, the firmware reserves some of the available memory for running of the player. This is why it says there is 108mB for file storage.

yes, jctoad is right. Now that you realize that you have been conned, you need to go after the seller of the hacked mp4 and seek a refund or a replacement.

lior,
Try ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp2...00/SP27213.exe
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp2...00/SP27213.txt
It should be able to format most usb drives like that.

lior,

Unfortunately if your player has been hacked, there's no way to get the memory back.

You can either take it back for a refund or format it and use what you have.

Reason why you are getting those errors is because the hacks are causing it. They are designed to 'fake' your computer into displaying more memory than it has so when you try to use it or copy it, it will try to access that hacked or fake area of the file system table and cause errors.

Hopefully the formatting will remove the hacks and get rid of those errors for you.

The diskonkey does not have real cylinders, heads or sectors. I don't think you can change them.
Can you try to fdisk it?
