You need to reset your device to solve the problem . There must be a tiny pinhole on the player . You need to stitch that pinhole with an appropriate tool while the player is on .
For sansa clip, there is not "small pinhole" to reset. A small hole you see on the cover of the device is microphone for voice recording only. To reset device, you have 2 ways
1. Normal reset: Settings >> reset >> yes
2. Hard reset: press and hold power button for 10 to 15 seconds.
Disconnect the Go Gear from computer. Press the reset pinhole until the player turns off.Hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard. If this pop-up does not appear, reset the player again WHILE connected to the computer. Open the Philips Device Manager, and go to Repair Tab.Reset the player one more time while connected to computer. Follow the repair instructions.
After repair is complete, upgrade the firmware for this player. Will erase all the songs, but you should be good to go again.

Try creating a new or extended partition in the unused space using a later version of Partition Magic (www.download.com)This problem usually occurs due to a previous format not completing correctly IE the MP3 player was removed from the USB source before completing a previous format. Check to see that there is not a pinhole reset button on your MP3 player (requiring a paperclip or pen to be inserted into the pinhole and pressed until a factory reset of the device completes) Much like resetting a digital watch)once reset to factory you can attempt to format the device fully again.
