Under the "unknown device" that pops up it says: No drivers are installed for this device.

There might be few possibilites:

1. Does ur mp3 player need any software installation on ur pc to connect to USB? If yes, then try reinstalling the drivers from ur cd. If no, then see below points

2. Check out if u are able to use the USB port with other devices. Problem with the USB port is likely as well.

3. Check ur USB cable

or

4.Ur mp3 player lived it's life.

Best of luck

Answer 2

Chances are it just died ... try it in another computer to see if it is the MP3 player or your USB connection ..... you might also try it in another USB slot on your Comp .... it's worth a try ... but to me it sounds like it just died

Answer 3

re-install software or purchase a new usb cable
