have 'word' documents on MP3 player, now player wants to be formatted

I have recovery software on an on-line site...files anywhere...If it is not being read correctly, you can download this software by contacting me directly at [email protected] and I can send you a link, or you can down load a linux distribution called "Puppy" and burn this on a live cd, then boot computer from the cd follow prompts use vesa for vid display, single click on drives, "mount" the usb drive and access the flash drive that way.
