Unable to format MP3 player

[Guest]

I'm running Windows XP on a new Mesh PC with an AMD Sempron 2800 processor.
I haven't been able to get my USB Muvo Numad Creative Labs 64MB MP3 player
to work since buying this new pc, it worked fine on the old one (Evesham Vale
running Windows 98)
There are music files already on the mp3 player, but when I try to delete
them, or make any changes, the computer freezes and I have to crash the
program. I've tried formatting the drive, but it stops half-way through and
says "Format failed, please try the media recovery option to do a low-level
format by restarting the device in recovery mode" but the media recovery tab
is greyed out. It is trying to format the drive to FAT12 if that helps.
Any ideas how to fix this? I've already tried re-installing the drivers for
the USB ports, using different USB ports, trying other devices in them, all
these things are fine. I've also re-installed the drivers for the mp3 player
from the installation cd, nothing's helping.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Ben

Thanks for the link, I've tried all of the download sites on that website,
but the downloads are extremely slow and keep hanging. I've searched for that
file on 5 different search engines, but can't find any other sources for it
which are any better. I would have thought Creative would have it on their
website, but so far I haven't been able to find a working link.

Alright, here's the deal, I downloaded the file, and checked it for
viruses with AVG, with the latest definitions and zipped it.

You use it at YOUR OWN RISK! I'll leave on my site for the next day or
so. Good luck.
