Where are you trying to install from?
There's a single-click install link for mplayer on this page that I think is still valid.
Both of those should be in the standard extras repository, so would be visible in application manager, or from the maemo downloads page.

I have had difficulty installing mplayer, many key files are missing and I was wondering what repositories to download to allow me to install it.
Also, my internal 2GB storage is inaccessible to anything except gparted, I was wondering how to access it, possibly install the os2008 on it? Im a beginner so any help would be appreciated.
As for your 2GB internal card. I assume you cannot see it in file manager (utilities menu). It would show up as "internal memory card". May be worth searching the forums on how to re-format the card.
It may be advantagous/necessary to re-flash your tablet (which a similar concept to re-installing Windows) This will get you back to a known working baseline.
As for booting from card, unless you really need the space to install lots of apps (games usually) then I'd suggest not to.
I have been using N800 and N810 for well over 2 years, and not had to.
Lastly, welcome to the forums. You have come to the right place for help, advice etc, and enjoy the tablets. They are great devices

If the internal mmc is corrupt, I would try format it from file manager.
