A USB problem with the Coby MP-C951 (model not listed on this site)

I can't seem to connect this to any computer via usb. When I turn it on it says "HDD read error." Tech support told me I need to format the player to get rid of this message, but I can't connect it to my computer to do that. I use Windows XP and its not recognizing it. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help

Firmware accidently deleted from Coby MPC941 The firmware was accidently deleted from my Coby MPC941 mp3 player. Since the unit will not start up without the firmware, a computer will not recognize it when hooked up by USB. Is there any way to get firmware back on the unit without being able to interface it to the computer? Thanks.
