Hello everyone,

I sent this message out a few days ago and got no response. Is this because 
nobody knows what I should do, or did nobody see this message? I'd like a 
response either/or, please.

 The message follows:

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 file system 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.
