I've owned a few of these. Easy to find replacement parts on Ebay for next to nothing. This might work; it depends on what exactly went wrong.

1. Unplug your Microphoto from your PC.
2. Remove Windows Media Player 11 (restart); and,
3. WMP11 runtime (restart).
4. Plug the Microphoto back in; and,
5. Windows *should* rediscover the Microphoto.
6. Install your new firmware.
7. Reinstall WMP 11 and its runtime.

I've had many problems with the hard drive on the Microphoto. You can swap out the hard drive for compact flash very easily. See: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17459

okay to get out of recovery mode when you are in recovery mode use all the options first in the order delete firmware and the format all and then clean up and then rebot and plug in usb cord while its rebooting and you computer should detect it and you should be able to install the latest firmware for it and whatever else
