You need to use the bootloader from the rockbox site (it does not matter that it shows up as a movie file, just aslong as the file extension is .DAT), anything else is not really supported.
And following the installation instructions in either the manual (http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-gigabeatf/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-60002)or the wiki (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatFXPort#Installation_Instructions) to the letter should get you a working rockbox'd player (just don't try to make any shortcuts, download file from other sites, ...)

What do you mean by "it didn't work". What exactly did you do with it? The Sansa and iPod ones are installed VERY differently. For them you must run a program that installs the bootloader.
-
What do you mean, exactly. You just pasted a portion of the manual, yet you said you can't "find or work out" the very steps you pasted?
Do you mean you can't find the folders, or what?

no i got the file from rockbox and i unziped it into the gigabeat then i downloaded the bootloader into my desktop to later move it i cant find the file i need to replace on my gigabeat i dont know if it also has to do with the fact that on my screen it says no system found on hdd...but i tried lookin for firmware to try to renew it and i found the latest one and when i plug it into the sub it goes straight to the gigabeat library but when i unplug it it says no system found on hdd so i find it odd

Okay, you need to un-break your Gigabeat first. You did something NOT from our instructions, and since you're not telling us what you did, it's nearly impossible for us to tell you how to fix it.

Ok Noobie here,
I went to download the gigabeat bootloader from http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/,however when I click on the FWIMG01.DAT file to download it it just opens the link with a page full of crap (well probably not crap). Any ideas on what this is and how do I down \load the bootloader?

Right click and pick "Save As..." or "Save Target As...", depending on your browser.
