Go ahead and format it. If you have tunes on there that you NEED to keep, just copy them to your desktop like the WAR Chip is a memory stick.

Are you using windows XP? Windows seven often has trouble recognizing that the chip is there. That is why we do not support 7

Xp compatibility mode does not help the computer recognize the chip any better.
