5gb of "other" on iphone

[zeph]

hi.
my iphone was working perfectly up until yesterday, i reformatted and reinstalled windows xp. when i installed itunes i said no to the "do you want to sync with this new library and erase all your stuff", but apparently it did SOMETHING.
i have 0 music listed, and in iTunes it says I have 5.12GB of "OTHER" on the phone and have no access to any music.
anyone else have this happen to them? how do i fix this? I really don't want to restore it because i have all of my icons and settings and springboard arrangements and programs and all that good stuff.

Try rebooting your computer.

No dice, didn't work. Kinda expected that one, lol.
Anything else?

plug the phone to the computer then open "My Computer" it should pop up
look around there if that doesn't work connect to WinSCP and look around

The problem is it somehow like lost my music but it's still on the phone because it's taken up. It just doesn't know it's there, or something. I'm not really sure.

[derrickb16]

well sounds like you'll need to format your phone

Erase all content on your phone by going through settings, sync your iphone back to itunes when it's done to get back all your songs/vids/etc. All done.

Before erasing anything I'm just gonna try deleting the music off manually, that I think should work.

Worked perfectly, I'm the freakin' man.
