Try using a third party utility like Swissknife to format the drive:

You can also use the formatting feature of the original firmware. Check the Iriver manual on how to access that function.

YOU ARE CORRECT
I didnt think this would work.
It most certainly did.
Then I proceeded to install Rockbox with no issues.
Thanks to all you guys for your help.
