How to format my Philips GoGear player?

Published on 2017-02-28

Caution: Back up your player before you format it. Formatting erases all the data inside your player.

1) Connect your player to your PC.

2) On your PC desktop, double-click My computer.

3) Highlight your player in the popup window, right-click, and then select Format.

If you don’t see the Format option:

  • Double-click on your player in the popup window.
  • Highlight the Internal Storage icon, right-click, and then select Format.
  • Click Yes when you see the warning message.

4) Click Start to format your player.

5) When the formatting is finished, copy your music, pictures and video onto your player.
