usb mp3 player

hey all

about 3 hours ago i was transfering music to my usb mp3 player. went out then came back to do more but drive h: (my mp3 player) won't show up in "my computer".

i get the mass storage icon in the task bar. i click on it to "safely remove mass storage device h:"

there's my problem. it says h: there.

i can format h: at the command prompt.

it just won't appear in "my computer" so i can't drag and drop music.

if i go start-run-h: i get the message "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. create an association in the folder options control panel"

help please

thanks

Re: usb mp3 player

Can you right-click on MP3 player and choose Explore???
Format it just in case...
You will lose all your data but I guess you did not deleted files on PC...
Restart PC and see if Mp3 will be visible in My Computer...
