With A USB , CELLPHONE , Camera The SameThing

place the unit into a computer and use it to format. If you have windows xp or later you can go into the control panel, then look to Administrator tools. in that you will fidn computer management. From that there is disk manager in the computer management console. from there destroy the partition adn reformat it and assign a letter.

Possibly because it is not compatible with it. Each of the Memory sticks have their own style of format and if that does not fit in with that on your MP3, then it will reject it.

I had the same problem, which I solved by downloading an update to the 530's firmware, at http://www.transcend.nl/support/dlcenter/Driver/TS530FWV1.4.zip
When I ran it, it told me the unit had to be reinitialized, which I accepted. Unit went off, then I unplugged it, plugged it back in, and the new hardware found wizard went on. After letting it run, I got the message that the hardware was installed. However, the unit did not appear in my list of available drives. I then ran the firmware update again, and voila! The unit's memory can be accessed.

You can Reset the unit to its Default settings by pressing the “Volume Down/Back-Fast Rewind/A”
button and “Hot-Key/REC” button at the same time

new firmware , maybe this is a solution?
