flash-type mp3player formating
 

using Ubuntu desktop ltd Ver.?.??.??

mp3player type - philips gogear 1gb

so the problem is that my player just one day got frozen when I turned it on..(just shows philips logo and hangs on)

the last time this happened I formatted it in winxp with a lot of effort..

in linux when I try to plug it in it just shows "cant mount device dev/sdb/"

I already tried formating it with gparted but it isnt possible because I'am not able to choose "format" from menu....

is there are any other way that I can format it using gparted or another app. I would realy aprecciate if someone could help me with this problem

P.S. sorry for my bad english..

You first need to unmount the device before you can choose format.

..
 

like I already said it isnt mounted at all..and even if it would be I can't choose "unmount" either

hello? can anybody help me with this?
