New Sony NWZ-B133F/BCE Walkman does not show as removable drive

I bought a new Sony NWZ-B133F/BCE Walkman. When I plugged it to the USB the drivers got properly installed, but the player does not show as a removable device or any other device in My Computer. Tried installing and reinstalling the drivers with no success. My PC runs on WinXP SP2. Please help me out on this soon.

Hi dinesh,

Dont worry, this model will not appear in My computer as a removable device,

yo have to use the Windows media player or Itunes to upload music to it same like apple ipod.


Connect your mp3player to computer, open the Windows media player , on the left side you will find task bar of media player( if it is hidden , click on the arrow to unhide it). and select the tab "copy to cd or Device". On the right side top select your device from the drop down list. drag and drop your music files to the play list and click on the copy button on the right top on the window, it will start copying wait for finish and close media player and unplug our mp3 player. thats it.

Or you can instal Windows Maedia Player 11. You will be able to see walkman in Windows Explorer after that.

Download the file NWZ-B130-V1-01.exe from Sony support web sites. Be warned, the site is eventually in S. America and you may have to understand a little Spanish. I don't!! I simply blundered my way through.

The file actually contain the device driver as well as the version updater.

Once you download it, run the file. The program will run and eventually tell you to insert your hardware. This is actually the version updater part of the software. Ignore it and exit the program because the driver is already installed.

You can verify it by going into Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager to see if it's there.

You can now insert your Sony NWZ-B133f into your USB port and it will be detected.

Good luck

Go to Device Manager, select walkman, click update driver, select Browse My Computer, then Manually Select Device, instead of Walkman USB Device, choose USB Mass Storage Device. Let it install drivers and bam, you have a drive letter.

My sony walkman nwz b133f(b) wont start. when on, it says boot error... what should i do? do u have the firmware availble that i can download myself?

I had the same problem but i solved it.
Follow the folliwing steps.
1- Download firmware nwz-b133f (firmware nwz-b130 V-1.01)
2- Download firmware nwz-b103 (firmware nwz-b100 V-1.3)
3- First execute firmware nwz-b100 , connect your walkman when the programm
asks: please connect device. Then the program ask format your device
you will loose all the data , click accept.
4- Don´t disconnect your device , wait until format and dataload are finished.
This is necesary because firmware nwz-b130 doesn´t do the format.
5- Disconnect your walkman and you will see it doesn´t start (logical it ain´t his
firmware)
6- Now execute firmware nwz-b130 , connect your walkman when the programm
asks: please connect device. Don´t disconnect your walkman wait until program ends.
7- When finished disconnect your walkman the save way.

Can't scan for viruses: sony WALKMAN NWZ-B133F.

Avg scans a portable drive every time you access it . If you still feel that your player is infected , try Avast or the lesser known Removeit Pro (antivirus softwares )
