TOYOTA buyer…maybe… asked:


I got this MP4 in China. It says SONY P-99….I can’t find any information on the web…probably not Sony? Really doesn’t matter because it was cheap and did have 2gb of storage. I was attempting to save some MP3’s on it (practice..trial/error) to bring it home to my wife for a gift. I couldn’t delete all the files (clean) and decided to format. I formatted it just like anything else and then it wouldn’t let me add new files…I then read the very broken english “directions” and it said only use FAT…well….I had used FAT32…so I reformatted with FAT….resulting in a new max storage capasity of 115mb. It is suppose to be a cool gift….but now it’s just making me angry…although I SCREWED UP…can anyone help me regain the storage capasity that I have lost? I would VERY much appreciate any assistance…

    You should format the device with the software that comes with it. (Not with Windows)!!! devbishwakarma

    The best place to ask is probably the MP3 newsgroup linked below. mara
