How to restore Sansa Express 1.0 GB

I have accidentally formatted (fat) my Sansa Express 1.0 GB MP3 player.  Nothing will show up on the display and when I connect it to my Win7 PC it shows only as a Removable Disk.

How do I restore the MP3 player and the working files?

I lost all my music when I formatted. How can I get it back.

You can’t if you formatted it. formatting clears (erases) and optimizes the memory space.

Sorry, it’s gone. :cry:

If this was quick format, then try some recovery utility. Like Recuva or Restoration or ZAR.
