Writing into memory problem

Hi everyone,
please could anyone help me with fixing memory related problem of my MP3 player?

My player is: Rockchip RK 2608A, BA 7165 0849
with Samsung K9LBG08UOM.

It is a 4GB memory that I checked and is not hacked. After I upload any files they get later corrupted and cannot be read. It seems like it writes some new data over the old ones (when pics are uploaded they are overlapped when opened).
I tried chkdsk and the result - cannot write in FAT. Formatting doesn't help.

Anyone knows what causes this problem?

Is your player formatted with FAT, FAT32 or NTFS file system?

I would suggest to try FAT32 if it's currently FAT.
If your player is formatted with FAT32, try formatting it in NTFS instead.

Let us know if that helps....

No player I know of can read NTFS, except maybe Microsoft's Zune.

NTFS on flash is also a bad idea, because it's journalled and the flash only has several thousand endurance per block.

The memory was formatted with FAT32. I was also trying NTFS but it couldn't go through. The problem was that even files larger than 5MB became easily corrupted...I had no luck so I returned the player to China.

Thank you for your help.
