Connect to PC go to my computer,unit should show up as an extra drive.double clic on it to open it.find audio file,then double clic it.then copy and paste or drag and drop your audio files to it.

Will need some more information. It could be anything from a loose connection on the inside of the computer to a failed drive. When you open the My Computer icon, is the icon for the drive displayed? If not, does the CD drive appear in the device manager? (Right click on the My Computer icon and choose Manage on the menu to pops up, select Device Manager and look for CD/DVD drives). If the drive does not appear in these areas, then I'd start by checking all of the connections to the drive (power cable and ribbon cable) and motherboard. If that does not fix it, check the BIOS to be sure that the on board IDE is enabled. After doing all of that, if you still get no response from the drive, then it is probably time to replace the drive itself.

Getting Started with MP3 File Manager

1. Connect your Portable Audio Player to the computer using the provided USB cable.
2. Open Windows Explorer; your player will appear as a Removable Disk drive type. Double-click on that drive.
3. In the MP3FM folder, double-click on the Mp3FileManager.exe file. The MP3 File Manager will now launch.
4. The first time you launch the MP3 File Manager, both this operation instruction window and the MP3 File Manager window will open. Close the operation instruction window.
5. You are ready to use MP3 File Manager!

Note: When MP3 File Manager is in use, press the F1 key to display the operation instruction window. Unless you uncheck the box in the lower part of the operation instruction window, the operation instructions will be displayed every time you launch MP3 File Manager.

On  Windows XP right clic on My Computer, clic on Properties --> Hardware --> Device Manager , identify the "New" unknown hardware, it gotta be under a big yelloy question mark, once identified you can right clic on it and clic "Disable" or if it happens to be a necesary device, look for its drivers and install it.
Good Luck!!!!!
