I think you’re confusing MB (Megabytes) and GB (Gigabytes). 1000MB equals one GB. The Sansa needs some free memory space to install the new firmware, which is roughly 16MB. Ideally, you should keep 100MB free on the device’s internal memory, as a little transient “breathing room”.
You can temporarily remove some of your music files from the internal memory, to your desktop, then reload after the firmware is installed.
The firmware binary (.bin) file is placed in the Sansa’s root directory during the installation process. Upon disconnect, the Fuze will see the binary firmware file. If all is correct, the device will take this file, and will install it into the device’s reserved partition. After firmware installation, the space needed will be available for music once again.
Again, be careful about your device’s free memory. It’s best to keep a little free space, to ensure trouble-free listening.
