Hello to every'body' and every'mind' bent out there to help me?
I recently bought a Ipod Style Mp4/Mp3 player, voice recorder from the ebay. This is a mass storage device too. This is hard drive based and a full 2GB. Its quite good. The seller provided with it a software to format and partition the players drive. But I was not aware of so I formatted the player with the Windows format (FAT). Then started all the problems. The data started corrupting. I should have used the sellers software to format. I used WinXP Home. To overcome the problem, I booted the system using my WinXP Cdrom, with the I pod connected to the system. I then went to the page where partitions are created. There I deleted the partition of the Ipod players hard drive and restarted. Then came the surprise and sadness. I could not see the 1.96GB of the volume I have deleted. Later when I rebooted with the XP Cdrom again and tried to see whether I can recover the deleted drive, sadly it was not there either. Now there is only 223 MB of memory out of 2GB of total memory. I need help to recover the memory.
