"formatting problem" My sansa c150 player has 1.82 gb used space ( full of mp3 songs) and 39 mb free space.But unfortunately after connecting it to pc (windows xp professional) i couldn't see the mp3 files.The installation cd doesn't contain any formatting tool or tips.Hence I tried to format it using windows Quick format/Normal format options (right click and 'format').I saw the message 'Windows was unable to format'.To add to my woe the mp3 player is unable to display the songs even in its own screen.it says 'no songs'.I am still unable to format or delete the files.And still it says 'free space 39 mb and used space 1.82 gb'.Please help.

Format the player and use Windows Media Player 10 or higher to sync the player.

To delete songs from your device follow the steps below
You have to make sure that the device is on MSC mode...then make sure your device is plug in to the computer..Then go to programs - accesories - windows explorer, find the SanDisk in my computer, go to media, music and delete them from there.
Either under sync panel in your windows media player it will show your music when it's connected. just click the plus signs for what song you need to get rid of, right click and click delete.
To format it..on your device..go under..menu, setting and there should be a format option option there..let me know if that doenst work for you...
Hope this helps

P.S.Please rate accordingly...
Thank You

Same problem delete a couple of songs up to 6 mg or 10 whatever then allow to refresh then download your songs back in the music file. the sansa needs some memory to know it has the sdcard in it...

I have 1 g used and it wont let my load anymore and all the songs come up as A is my player dead
thanks

are you able to format the player while in msc mode?

right-click on it while in my computer and select the format option, make sure your selecting your mp3 as this will delete all the files off the device. It if says failed to format, try doing it thorugh disk management. To get there you can right-click on my computer and select manage from the drop down menu. From here you will see disk management on the left hand side. Then a larger rectangular box with the drive letter that represents your player, you can right click on this and select format.

Or just try a different computer, if its the same everywhere then youll probably have to end up emailing sandisk, stating everything you tried. They will probably ask you to do a couple more things, but if you keep at it, youll end up with an RMA*.

*RMA = Return Merchandice Authorization

Sounds like you formatted your MP3 using windows explorer....in that case you need to reinstall the firmware on the device and once you do that...you should be able to transfer the songs to the device...

I have formatted it. No songs available when opened the playlist. But when I start the unit it shows "NoSpaceForDB Please Please Delete More Than4.0M.B". The property shows the "0 Memory is free".

Same thing happened to me. I was using windows media player to sync my song and it says my player was using 260 mb of space even though it was formatted time after time. I simply loaded as many song as I could fit on the player. When I unplugged it and plugged it back in, windows media now showed that missing 260 mb of space as available. The only catch is that the song I had already uploaded on to the player were not shown on the sync list.
