Well, that's one messed up manual I guess.....

If I was going to format, I would just use the one provided in the new firmware. XP cannot natively format the drive properly into fat32. If you want to get additional software, great, but otherwise just use iRiver's built in tool.

This is for the iHP/H-140. FAT32 formatting in Windows XP limits it to 32 GB.
