digital audio player won't mount


I'm a bit of a newbie that's at his wit's end.

I just got a Cowon iAudio U2 digital audio player last week, and at first things seemed to work just fine. I connected the player through the USB, and was able to accesse the files on the drive. I uploaded about 500MB of music files to the drive. Then something stopped it but I didn't have time to troubleshoot because I had to leave for the weekend. When I got back, I plugged the player in again tried to figure out how to mount it, got it mounted, was able to list the contents (Konqueror would crash when I tried to look at the folder contents so I only was able to list the contents through the command line). I could not, however, copy anything to the device because of some I/O error. After more fiddeling, things only got worse. Now I am not able even to mount the device and see the contents.

Here's what I get when I dmesg after I've tried to mount:

usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using address 4
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: COWON Model: iAUDIO U2 Rev: 0100
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 2035200 512-byte hdwr sectors (1042 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0:end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
SCSI error : <2 0 0 0> return code = 0x70000
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2035192

SCSI error : <2 0 0 0> return code = 0x70000
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2035192
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 254399
p1

Now before you say that the device is kaput, I *am* able to get the device working on my fiancee's laptop running Win2K. Strangely, I *cannot* connect to the device when I'm on my machine on the Win2K side (I have a duel boot).

Thinking that maybe there was some error on the device that needed to be repaired before I could get it working on linux, I reformatted the device in FAT32 format (from my fiancee's machine). That didn't work. And yes I do have the modules loaded. I know this, because I can access my FAT32 formatted harddrive on which my machine's Windows installation resides.

Help!!!!

Thank you very much.

Oops! I just fixed the problem 5 minutes after I posted. The fact that it wouldn't work on my windows side either got me to thinking that maybe it was a BIOS problem. So I went into the bios and switched the USB controller from V1.1+V2.0 (or something like that) to just V1.1. That worked!!!
