Ho can i make my mp3 player show up as removable disk?

[Squerl101]

Hey guys, I have been loking for this answer for quite some time nw. I need to create a startup disk for Ubuntu 11.10, and my mp3 player is the only storage device I have left to do it off of. When i plug it in, it shows up under portable devices, and is not assigned a drive letter nor shows up in disk management. Is there a way I can make this show up as a removable disk and make it a drive letter so that it will show up in the startup disk creator? Thanks for the help.

Its a samsung yp-t7j

depends on the mp3 player, check if there's an option in the settings for it to act like a USB Mass Storage device when plugged in

Its a samsung yp-t7j and doesnt say anything about mass storage in the settings.

imm going to reboot into ubuntu and see if it comes up as mass storage there........ ill be back soon.

doesnt seem to make a difference

it's just a matter of what kind of firmware your MP3 player has

I've got a Sony Walkman and when I plug it in, it's a mass storage device labeled "WALKMAN". I don't think there's anything you can do, really.

Does it have a mode button? Try pressing that when it's plugged in.
