mputer using your usb cable on your computer look for "my computer"
you willl see the drive c , drive d , drive e and drive F which will appear there the name of the mp3 or just the"memory" of your mp3 like for ex. 4 GB or 8 GB click on that and you will see the files or songs u have downloaded or copied in to it.

press the reset button

This should be a simple exercise (similar to formatting a floppy diskette) but make sure that you backup/copy all your existing files (including hidden system one) to your PC/Laptop first! - Connect your MP3 player to your PC (as required to back up your files) - Your MP3 player will show as a drive under 'Computer' in Windows Explorer: - Make sure that you have clearly identified the MP3 drive single click on the drive and browsing the mp3 drive content. - Now use the context menu by 'right-click' the MP3 drive -> select 'format' and click on it - Select FAT32 (or FAT16) as the file system for your MP3 drive if not defaulted / I suggest NOT USING QUICK FORMAT for a clean drive - Proceed carefully! PS. IF ENSURE, GET EXPERT ASSISTANCE FROM A PC SAVY FRIEND!

What format are the iTunes file in?
The S2001 Jet does not support DRM file types from any source (such as iTunes "*.m4p" files). This particular model also does not support the files if the files are non-DRM from iTunes ("*.m4a" files). The only files that are supported are .mp3 and .wma files. Maybe some software could convert them for you to transfer, but most likely they will not be compatible straight from iTunes unless they are in a compatible format.

format using windows and it should work.

I had the same probIem...I downloaded the upgrade firmware for my RCA Jet 2001 ran the software while holding the 'Play' button down on my player the entire length of the format and install. This overides something and lets it format and install. Hope this helps someone

If You See This Error On Your RCA Jet ( S2001 A)
Then Your Absolutely Screwed!
I Hope You Kept The Receipt!
If Not Go Spend Another 50$ ( Keep The Receipt This Time )!
The RCA People Forgot Mention That The Memory Chip In The
Jet (S2001 A ) Is Easily Damaged or Easily Wiped Clean When
Attaching The USB Cable To A PC That Recognizes It As A Storage Drive !..Also If You Go Past 975mb of free Space Even Though It Says It Will Hold 1GB Of Music You Get The Same Error So Remember 2 Things ....
#1 Do Not Go Past 975 mb Of Free Space With Music
#2 Save The Receipt Every Time You Buy A Jet !

Sorry If Im Blunt ..But If It Helps I Had To Buy Another One Myself Cause I Had No Idea It Was A ( POS ) With Issues !!!
