plus it in. go to my computer. double click on the opal icon. you will then see internal storage. Right click on that and hit format. Then it should work. I had the same error and it worked for me.

SOURCE: boot error! please format unit

It might be cause by a corrupt firmware. You need to have a utility that restore the mp3 player to its original setting. i had exactly the same problem with my ipod shuffle 1st generation 2 years ago. Good thing Apple has that utility for me to download and until no it is still working. Try to visit and upgrade the firmware using this link for you mp3 player http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/downloads.aspx?product=192
