Hello. I have an RCA Pearl TH1602 2GB Mp3 player that I got back in June. When I went down to my mom's back in July, the player wouldnt turn on, so I found the upgrade to the current version of the player and upgraded it, and it worked after that. I have now gotten this message as of today, but 3 days ago the player worked. But mysteriously later that day, the computer went haywire and we had to reformat the hard drive. Just got the computer back up and running and I am trying to put a song on my mp3 player but get this message. I have already tried the part where I shut down the computer, put the switch on the power supply to off, and disconnect the power cord, but not sure on uninstalling the USB drive hardware and having the Windows XP reinstall them. Can someone please help me with this?



One of the first things to do after formatting the hard drive and
re-installing the Windows XP operating system is to make sure that
all of the driver files have also been re-installed. There should
have been an utility cdrom that was supplied with the computer. The
driver files for the chipset, USB, sound, etc., would be on it. If
there is no utility cdrom, then visit the website of the manufacturer
of the computer and download the pertinent driver files for it and
install them.
