But if i format with windows the system files on it aint gona be removed?
Only if you let Windows format the 16MB partition while connected in Recovery Mode. Towards the end of this post are instructions detailing how to force the player to format itself (if it’s a v1). You can ignore (or save for another time if needed) how to manually install the firmware. Basically, you create a blank file, naming it ‘sansa.fmt’ (w/o quotes) and place it in the 16MB partition/folder/what-have-you. When it restarts after disconnecting, that file will tell the player to format itself.
Careful though, not to run the Windows format function in this partition though, or you _ will _ wipe out the operating files.
