Have i wrecked new mp4 player ?

wippersnip · 07-27-2009, 12:22 AM

I bought my wife a 4 GB MP4 Player on eBay.
It was reasonably cheap and worked well.
However, somehow along the line, a dummy [ me !] was trying things out, pressing this and that, and the HD ‘split’ into two partitions.
One is accessible but only holds about 1.8 GB. The other partition cannot be accessed, and under Windows ‘Properties’ it shows ‘FULL’.
I think I’ve blown it. The manual, being by a Chinese maker, is useless and the seller cannot help me.
Is there any way this thing can be salvaged?
I’m not holding my breath, but I’m sure that IF it can be fixed – a ‘fixer’ will be found here.
Thanks.

check out rockbox: http://www.rockbox.org/ if your player isn't supported you can try making a port for it.

Thanks for all the help, guys.
It seems like the Re-Partition has fixed things - fingers-crossed.
