I followed your instructions, but my Mp3 still says it needs to be formated. my formats are... 996 mb fat 32 or fat defult allocation size
There are two ways to format an Mp3 player - one on the computer
itself, and one in Windows Media Player. Both methods will end up
erasing all the songs on the player, but the player will be "good as
new" after that. Sometimes reformatting in this manner will override
the player's native formatting and cause problems - this can be
reversed in most cases by updating the player's firmware. Firmware
upgrades are available from most manufacturers' websites.
WARNING: The following procedures will erase all songs on the player.
Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes, format it to FAT or
FAT32. - Connect player to computer, double-click my computer, right
click on icon of mp3 player and select format. This only applies to
Windows-based computers.
You can also format the player in Windows Media Player itself:
Connect your Mp3 player to the computer and open Windows Media
Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath
the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking
on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "name of
Mp3 player here 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select
"Format." - this should erase everything.

1. Connect the player to the PC using the USB cable.
2. Open Windows Media Player.
3. Go to the Sync or Devices tab and delete all content from the player.
4. Go to the Tools menu and select Options.
5. Select the Devices tab, highlight the ILO or Siren player and click on Properties.
6. Uncheck the box "Create Folder Hierarchy on Device"

I have the same exact problem and is getting frustrated
I have a 2GB iLO mp3 player and it says "Flash error! Please backup the data and format the player". Now what I found out about the problem is that you have to backup all of the info. onto the computer and then redo it onto the SD memory card and then you can replace it into the iLO.

i have the same exact problem. but when i followed your directions, i turned my mp3 player on and it worked with no songs on it. when i loaded songs on it, the same message showed up. do i have to load my songs back on one at a time?
I accidental and didn't know that the format was in FAT32 and clicked on Start and then it won't let me play or select any music to listen to.
