I agree, the 801 is a waste with lower end phones too. I never use it with anything lower than the esw9 which is borderline for the 801, usually with jh13 or Ed8 myself.

Please don't format the internal drive! You might risk bricking the player.
To format a SD card bigger than 32GB, you need a software which will do it (Windows won't because 32GB is the official limit).
GUIformat (a free little program) did it for me. Put the 64GB or 128SD card in the slot on your PC or in a card reader and then use GUIformat to format it to FAT32.

In the process to update firmware of HM801, I must copy the new firmware to internal flash memory of HM801, but everytime I tried to copy , the windows keep popping up ask to format it, cause I can't access it.
Not the SD card, unless someone know how to update the HM801 firmware from SD Card

Does this happen when the SD card slot is empty?
I have installed new firmware on my HM-801 (and earlier HM-602) without being prompted to format the internal flash memory.
However, when I plug my HM-801 into the PC with a 64GB SD card (formatted to FAT#"), the Windows asks me to format the SD card.
This doesn't happen when the SD card i correctly formatted (max 32GB card w/ FAT32) or no SD card in the slot.
Try plugging the HM-801 in with no SD card in it and see what happens.
