Can't format on FAT after accidentaly format in FAT32

Accidentaly i formated my iriver iFP-190TC with the 1.22 UMS firmware in FAT32.

Now I'm trying to format on FAT but I can't: the quick format says "Format Complete", but when you start the player, theres a FAT SUPPORT ONLY message on it, and if I try the long format, in the end windows raises an error saying "Windows was unable to complete the format", and the same message (FAT SUPPORT ONLY) appears on the player.

I have tried with another formatting application, and the same happened in the end. Just to add some more info, after formating on FAT32 I uploaded lots of mp3 on the player and now when I click on the joystick, thought it says the FAT ONLY msg, the file manager appears and shows a list of songs with strange strange simbols as names.

Windows is able to see the player and even upload things to it. And what's more, it says that is a FAT16 device!

I would much appreciate any help! Thanks.

Cris.
