I have a lexar LDP-400 MP3 player (256MB capacity). One day it dropped all of the files. When I plug it into the computer it shows on the display that it is connected & it shows up as F drive in My Computer. If I go to send files to it the computer asks me to insert a disk into drive F. When I turn on the MP3 player it tells me there are no files and when I check in the menu under information it shows the following:
INT: 0MB
Free: 0MB
Someone told me that I should be able to make it work again by formatting the MP3 player. Is this true and if so how do I do it (I tried right clicking on the F drive in My Computer and I'm aksed to insert a disk in drive F)?
Thanks
Formatting the Disk maybe solve it. But if the disk itself is working.
Go to Start-> Run -> type "cmd"
-> format F:
then press "y"
and another "y" if it asks you again
if the system couldn't read the drive itself. Then this means that your storage on the MP3 Player (that shows as F on your computer) is now broken.

1...You must download and install Windows Media Player 11 on your computer. NOTE...Some older MP3 players will not work with Windows Media Player 11 or Windows 7 with Windows Media Player 11. If this happens to you, then you will have to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 and install Windows Media Player 10. 2...After you have downloaded and installed Media Player on your computer. 3...Open Media Player on your computer. 4...Install all your music into Media Player that you want to install on your MP3 player. 5...Plug in your MP3 player to the computer using your Data/Sync cord, be sure that Windows Media Player is on. 6...Media player should recognize the MP3 player and sync with it. 7...After it is sync'ed with the computer,you can add the music you have installed into Windows Media Player to your MP3 Player. Please take time to rate me thumbs up.
Well this can be a nuber of problems one could be if you put them in the right folder and you can use windows media player and sync music insted of drag and drop
It is likely that the files loaded are not true MP3, therefore the PC -which can cope with WAV and other formats will play them but the player that read only MP3 cannot.
Are you sure the files loaded are truly MP3?
What do you mean by not reconized?
Does it still show up when you plug it in and just tell you its not reconized? or does it just not show anything at all?
If it comes up then I suggest going to Lexars website and downloading the drivers for your LPD-400 so your computer will be able to interact with it...make sure its the mac drivers.
