Why doesn't my computer's autoplay give me the option to view my mp3 players folder?

Question

I just reformatted my computer. It's an eMachine with Windows XP. My mp3 player is a Samsung YP-K5. My computer won't let me view the folder on the mp3. I went into my computer, but it wasn't in any of the removable drives. I tried going to "add new hardware", but it said that my YP-K5 was working properly. What's the deal? It showed up before I reformatted the OS, but now it won't. My flash drives show up in the removable drives. Help?

Answer 1

It might not recognize it, you usually have to plug it in and windows will install drivers for it so it will work. Leave it in there for a few min, if it doesn't work it might be corrupted[which means it's dead] Unless, you have the drivers for it, like from a cd [if it came with one] or the manufacturer's website.
