yeah go ahed and try th chkflash with ~3,400,000 bytes

Everything went well until I replugged the reader during the last part

Then, vista fatal bluescreen...

Anyone else experienced it?

I noticed my player display something like creating database after I unplug it, does it have something to do with it?

done, although im a little confused, when i did the format part it was still telling me the mp3 player was 14.5 gb (meant to be 16 i know, dont ask lol its always said it was just under anyway) so does this mean that it will still accept data past 3.5gb but it will corrupt it like before, or will this stop me adding anything past the real memory capacity?

thanks again for your help dude.

yeah, @ vista problem try running in compatibility mode for windows SP2 with admin on, for the 14.5gb problem, i assume that it didnt work correctly. Try again carefully and see if it happens again, if it does, you might have the same problem as some of the others on here, i haven't had any mpx players latley so i don't know how to fix the newest generation of hacked crap. Sorry. You can try some of the other guides on this site.

im running xp professiion sp3 64bit, but yeah i decided to use it as it is for the moment and just not go over 4gb, ill probably get an sd card for it and still use it, its actually not a bad mp3, bit slow at times and the touchscreen unlock can be a pain haha but the guy has offered to refund my money already as i had told him it never arrived before i got it so seein as he offered i decided not to bother telling him i got it and then having to go through arguing to get only some money back. i might give the unhacking another go after xmas, but for now its all good, thanks again for your help and merry christmas, i may be back after christmas when i try again to let you know how it went.

Alright, the player will be fine as long as you dont overload it, keep it under 3.5GB for safety, but keep in mind that the hacked memory can cause a disk error at any time if something goes into the hacked memory. Common symptoms include duplicating files with no information in them and files apearing empty with only the first couple letter of the name followed by gibberish. Also 64 bit might be part of the problem, i use VMware to emulate a 32 bit windows xp to unhack them.

about safe2star
 

well, after telling me i could have a refund or replacement i asked for a refund.... he then messaged me to tell me he would send another one out straight away, so i messaged him again stating i didnt want a replacement as it was meant to be a christmas present and its way too late now and that i had already bought another from somewhere else for the christmas gift, so he replied stating that he couldnt pay me yet and i would have to wait because paypal have a limit on his account, so i stated i would wait a week but after that i would get ebay involved and inform them of whats going on because im not waiting around forever for my money when this is his mistake not mine, he has not replied in 4 days now, so if it gets to 30 days im just going to go through paypal as i know how quickly they will get my money to me for an item that has not arrived, probably better than waiting for this guy.

the only thing these guys care about is feedback, so mention it. You havent left any yet right? thats your only bargaining chip they will do whatever you want for it. and btw if ebay or paypal ever tell you to ship it back DONT. and he probably already sent you another one. just simply state that he will get a good feedback when you get a full refund.

i havnt left feedback yet no, i told him already that if i dont get a refund asap then i will have to go through ebay and paypal to forcefully get my money back which will leave me with no option but to leave very negative feedback. and dont worry i wouldnt send it back to him haha

safe2star a real peice of work
 

ok, so now safe2star is telling me that i have to wait till he/she has sold more items to refund me, but there not SELLING anything anymore????? i messaged them but they keep saying they are on holiday, as soon as they are supposed to be back they go on holiday again.... what should i do? gettin silly now and my 45 day limit on opening a case is getting close, any ideas?
