Title: Stupidly deleted Rockbox folder from E200 now Rkbx trashed
Post by: slickjesus on January 23, 2009, 11:00:00 PM
I'm running xp-pro sp2, on a dell, I plugged in my sansa e200 via usb and in exasperation and stupidity deleted the rockbox folder from the drive. And stupidly I say because it was before i realized that to get into the sansa sw I just ahd to hold down the << and pwr button.

I'm able to get into the native sansa (hold down left << and power up) and all works fine there. If I turn the pwr on I get the screen that says "Rockbox boot loader version 4.0" and then ends with "Can' load rockbox mi4, file not found"

I installed the latest updater (after the fact) and tried to reinstall Rkbx. Among other problems I notice it doesn't show up in the browse list when inside updater, and if I force it to load anyway I get....darn I can't recreate this part -something to the effect "access point not located"

Further more, when i plug attach my USB I get a stupid microsoft window "Universal firmware updater for Sandisk Sansa MP3 player has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience." Not as sorry as I am

Any thoughts? Thank you.

Once you get your player connected in MSC mode (so it appears as a drive letter), simply extract a copy of rockbox (release, current build) to the root of the player and reboot... But how to do that might better be answered by google and/or Sandisk's forums.

Thanks,
I was sure I'd put it in MSC mode, it wasn't. I wasn't getting a drive letter and it had me stumped for a minute. Once that was in order it was simple to reinstall Rkbx. Now all is groovy once again.

It's Rockbox, not Rkbx.
