The owner had formatted the USB drive to NTFS. A message like yours appeared. I don't know why they did that 3 times. I'd fix it and send back a note not to format it...

Could someone please help me!
I bought a sumvison 1gb M18 mp3 player with fm radio, I had problems with it so contacted the dealer and now have a replacement. I'm still having problems and I'm wondering if it's me or my pc.
I'm using windows xp and media player 10. I've downloaded tracks from a legal site (tesco) but I cannot (however hard I try!) save them onto my mp3 player so that they play. They are definately on the player because I can see them when I look at the device through the pc and they will play from the player through media player. When I try to play them on the player itsef it says 'format error' and turns itself off.
I have checked the licences and they say the tracks can be syncronized, I've tried downloading directly to the player form tesco's site, I've tried synchronizing using media player and I've tried copying and pasting the wma files whilst in my documents.
This is driving me mad as the whole reason I bought the thing was to save downloaded tracks to it.
Can someone please help before I go insane!!!!
Thanks in advance
