I'd say that it's relevant as it shows there is a type of drive which
is being encounted but isn't Iyonix compatible. I did a search through
the Iyonix support list archives and have found a posting from someone
else (forgotten the name now) about a MP3 player bought from Tesco and
he encountered the same message we have both mentioned.
He mentioned reformatting the drive, I am reluctant to do that incase
it ruins it and becomes totally unusable, however I am sure that when
I first got an MP3 player ages ago it was suggested that you needed to
format the drive to Fat 32 on a PC so that it would work.
Does anyone know if this error message can be resolved so that this
MP3 player and other devices can be made to work, it's almost there,
the machine recognises it but doesn't like the format I guess.
cheers
Matthew
