Sansa E200 (v1) - USB Problem. Can not access files or reformat. Please HELP??!?

UGH! I REALLY need help and I hope someone can help me (or, at the very least, if unable to help, point me in the right direction to where I can go). If anyone can help me to fix this problem, I will even make a donation to Rockbox to show my appreciation. Upset beyond belief, so please bear with me as I try to recount what happened..

Last night, I plugged my Sansa E200 (v1) into my laptop, as I wanted to add some music. As soon as I plugged it in, a window box popped up saying "AutoPlay", and it began to scan my files. Normally, I just let it run through, but it was getting late and I wanted to get things done before it got much later. I hit "Cancel", hoping it would abort. All it did was lock things up. I tried to disconnect it by clicking on the connection icon, but it wouldn't work. Gave me an error msg, but my mind is frazzled - can't remember the wording. Sorry. :(

At this point, I didn't know what else to do as it was locked, so I turned off the computer, figuring I could just remove it once it shut down. No luck! So, figuring nothing else could happen worse, I unplugged it.

Now, when I plug it in, all I get is the USB connection icon on my screen, but that's it. When I got to click on "SANSA" via MY COMPUTER, it won't access it. Say it is empty, but it won't let me reformat it. Sames goes for SD flash disk I have inside as well.

I tried this on both my laptop at home as well as the desktop at work - both experiences were the same.

Is there any way to fix this?? Or just I should sit down and cry at this point?  :'(

GodEater:
Does a hard reset (hold power for 15+ seconds, and then turn it back on again) fix it at all ?

Spacedog2k5:
Unfortunately, not quite. It will take me back to the main Rockbox screen, but it's a locked system. I can not change, add, or delete everything. Essentially, what's on the player is it. Can not even add themes or doing anything else.

saratoga:
Is this in rockbox USB or the retail firmware's USB?

Spacedog2k5:
I was able to get it back to its original firmware, but now I can't get it to reinstall Rockbox. Rockbox Installer won't work. Plus, it won't read my SD card. This is absolutely horrific! I have no idea how to fix it.  :'(

Also, don't know if this helps any, but when I click on the Rockbox Utility, it will not recognize that there is a Sansa connected. Even after the reformatting.
