What part of the IpodInstallation page are you having problems with?

If you ask specific questions, it will make it easier to help.

If you've read the IpodInstallation page, it tells you what to download. You've been here and read it?

The page tells you exactly what to type, and what programs you need to download. It really can't be given much simpler than that.

What exactly do you want?
The page tells you exactly what to type. The only thing a human being could do more for you is to come to your house and type it in for you.

Well, unfortunately it can only be installed by way of the command prompt.

The instructions tell you *exactly* what to type in the command prompt, as long as you change directories to the folder where you've downloaded those files.

Assuming you saved the files in C:\rockbox, just type
Code: [Select]
cd C:\rockbox
