[blindipod] USB cable and PNY mp3 player problem

[Tyler Wood <tcwood12@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am desperate. My dog chewed the USB cable that I had orriginally bought with 
the PNY vibe MP3 player. I bought a new one, and it fit perfectly, both into 
the player and the computer. I turn the computer on, go to my computer, my mp3 
player comes up as a removable disk. All is fine and well, because it is there. 
Now I press enter. Wow...nothing? Absolutely nothing, 0 items. Meanwhile, I 
take the headphones and plug them in, and power on the player. Music. All of 
the music I had had on it since the dog chewed the other cable. I looked in the 
properties, hoping for some clue, after reconnecting the unit to the computer. 
It says that the filesystem is unknown. I try to re-format it, and all I get is 
to be set back in the list of drives (local disk, removable disk, etc etc). I 
am using a windows xp machine, with a 1.10 GHZ processor and have  480 MB of 
ram on it. Can somebody tell me, please, what is going on here? I don't think 
it is the cable, otherwise the player wouldn't have shown up at all. I am 
stumped as to what is going on. Even if you don't have the exact brand of 
player, yet your player stil comes up as a removable disk in my computer, 
please if you have experienced this, what was your solution?

thanks so much, and sorry for the long message.
