I have an mp4 player ... a "flash drive".
Anyways. Its pretty nifty. Plays music, videos, has radio, phonebook, e-book, pictures, games, etc. So, there are two ways to update it (as far as I'm aware).
The first method is through syncing (like the feature windows media player has).
The second method is to just drag and drop files into the folder.
On the first level of the drive it has a folder called "mp4" (where all files should be placed), and a file called WMPInfo.xml (which i gather is what WMP created when I connected it the first time).
So I was updating it through the second method like usual. I tried removing a file or two, that didn't work. I tried removing the folder that the files we're in, that didn't work. I tried using a file/folder remover software (R-Wipe&Clean), that didn't work. I tried renaming the folder "mp4" and that did work. I tried deleting this folder, but this didn't work.
I ran this command, but it didn't work:
It brang up a lot of info in the window about files/folders not being in the correct location, etc. A yellow triangle appeared in the system tray saying that the CMD was corrupt.
Some files/folders have replicated themselves in other ones. When I do successfully remove a file and i go to a different folder when I go back again its still there even though it seems to have been deleted. Some odd files and folders have been created, like the following:
▒@▓@│@┤@.╡@╢
ü@é@â@ä@.à@å
etc, etc.
They are pretty big, with no/obviously incorrect because they're so stupid file types. Some are removed, but then reappear again. Others bring up messages.
The mp4 is 8GB in size but windows explored says its 41.5GB in size.
No viruses are on my pc.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Update:
OK. So I re-formatted the drive, which deletes all files. The window said it is 8MB in size, with no way to change it to 8GB. Decided to re-format anyway. I know it is NOT 8MB in size because i've had songs on it that have played properly. After I formatted it theres an unknown file called "δ<ÉMSDOS.5.0" on it that is 0kb in size.
I tried to add a few images on the drive but only one copied on all occasions. After the first is copied it says that the other('s) is damaged or corruped. The images were copied from my desktop, there is no way this is possible.
Virus check says none have been found (again).
