not booting

[mkubth]

recently I was updating the version of rock box in my gigabeat's and after I went for a restart the player will not load past the boot splash screen.  this leaves me in a bind since I am not their by able to get my linux operating system to recognize my gigabeat's, is this fixagle and if so what should I do.

You have to update your bootloader.

propably via a rescue mode ? (i dont have a gigabeat)

You can't have looked too hard... just look a the first few posts in this very forum.

ok I did not look to hard at the postes but I did see (Gigabeat F40 hangs at Rockbox screen/inaccessible via USB) and it did work the first time I tried the procedure that woodensoul sugested, but I still can not gain access to the usb.

Are you plugging the cable in directly (not using the dock)?

[mkubth]

I am connecting the gigabeat directly to the usb and not using the dock.

also later i was able to sink to the gigabeat by disconnecting the hard drive, powering the gigabeat up and reconnecting the gigabeat an my Linux system was able to see the gigabeat as a usb drive so I am hoping that I will be able to restore the gigabeat to it's former functioning condition.
