Did you load on Rio firmware? that may help. Should come on the disc with the player, if not then the website should have it...just search for Rio Sport mp3 and their site should come up....hope this helps ! :)

Ok Rio nitrus is great litle thing, and I had the same problem. This is what you should do:

1) download latest firmware for rio nitrus http://www.rioaudio.com/support/rio/downloads/Nitrus/RioNitrus_firmware_123.exe
2) unpack firmware
3) connect Rio Nitrus to your comp;
4)While holding menu buton press power button, you sholud see on display showing UPGRADER text;

5) Then upgrade the firmware ( note that this will erase all the songs- read the read me file that come with firmware);

Although I allready have the same version of firmware v.123 like the one that upgreded this solved the problemm.

I have the same problem with my Rio Cali and found that there are many out there like us. Looks like we are out of luck because the Rio website is recommending that we buy a new one.

I've performed various formatting procedures with no hope - even tried a low level format and failed.

As of now, you should consider buying a new mp3 player because there is no solution in correcting the problem.

SOURCE: Rio Carbon stuck on Formatting

Leave it for around 2 hours to format. If it is still formatting, pull the cable out. Some of your data may corrupt, but it will get unstuck. Then plug it in again, go to Start>My Computer, right click your player, and select format.
