I tried to reformat my player by going to My Computer>Format like it told me to, but it won't respond at all. I searched and someone else had this problem, but the solution someone gave didn't make sense to me. They said you reformat it through the Music Manager. But how do you reformat it through the Music Manager? I don't see anywhere on it that you can do that..

Most digital mp3 players can be reset to factory settings. Also, By going into start computer right click the hard drive its connected to and quick format. All songs will be deleted and you'll be ready to begin anew.
When you plug an mp3 player into a 2nd computer with a different operating system, a reformatting takes place, rendering it unusable on one computer or another without reformatting the player
Danger: reformatting a player will erase all of the songs on that player
There are two ways to format an Mp3 player - one on the computer
itself, and one in Windows Media Player. Both methods will end up
erasing all the songs on the player, but the player will be "good as
new" after that. Sometimes reformatting in this manner will override
the player's native formatting and cause problems - this can be
reversed in most cases by updating the player's firmware. Firmware
upgrades are available from most manufacturers' websites. WARNING: The following procedures will erase all songs on the player.
Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes, format it to FAT or
FAT32. - Connect player to computer, double-click my computer, right
click on icon of mp3 player and select format. This only applies to
Windows-based computers. You can also format the player in Windows Media Player itself: Connect your Mp3 player to the computer and open Windows Media
Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath
the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking
on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "name of
Mp3 player here 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select
"Format." - this should erase everything. -Tha Mp3 Doctor
There are 2 ways to format an mp3 player - if you were formatting the mp3 player from "My Computer," then try reformatting from Windows Media Player instead - I have a "tips and tricks" entry on How to Format an Mp3 Player for details If that doesn't work, then double-click on My Computer, double-click on the Sansa player, and go to the various folders that it lists - music, voice, etc. Delete the songs ONLY - do not delete the dat, bat, ini, inf, or other system files
Reformat the player and reload the songs. (warning: reformatting erases all songs on the player)
Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes, format it to FAT or
FAT32. - Connect player to computer, double-click my computer, right

If the reformatting causing any issues, you can always rebuild the original software from Dell's own website: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PDA_MP3_DJ_DITTY&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=
Try reformatting the device. To do so, go to My Computer. Even if it is corrupt, it should appear there. Right click the drive showing your player and select "Format", "Auto Format", or "Quick Format". If the computer asks you what type partition you want to use, choose FAT 32. You will then need to re-install the firmware. You can get it here: http://www.rcapearl.com/download.aspx Make sure to choose the correct version. This will probably be the 1GB version, unless the two others have something different.
To reformat it (assuming you have or have access to a Windows computer) all you must do is plug in the mp3 player to the computer. Go to "My Computer". Right click on your mp3 player and select "Format" or "Reformat". If it asks you what type of partition you should use, choose "FAT32". Most mp3 players use this. If you know for a fact that your mp3 player used a different partition type, choose it. Otherwise, choose FAT32. The computer will do the rest. After reformatting, you may have to download the firmware again. If you can't play songs after reformatting, this is probably why. To get the firmware, try going to the website of the company that manufactures your mp3 player.
