USB LOGO freeze

LeeZer:
Hi i'm brand new to Ipods and rockbox however i have many years experiance with PC's and general tinkering with electronics etc.  

I believe i've installed rockbox to my girlfriends 2nd gen Ipod mini.  I believe it installed alright as i could go through the menu's and change settings without any problem and without obvious signs of data coruption / missing files.  So i decieded to connect the ipod back upto the pc via the ipod usb cable so that i could put some music on it,  However when i connected it the Usb plug symbol came up on the ipod screen and it seems to have frozen from that point :(.

I didn't hear windows detect any usb device and i can't seem to find the ipod in device manager.  I've clicked and held every button on the ipod to try and go past the screen but without any luck.  i've tried disconnecting the usb link (hoping the ipod would change from the usb lead screen) but unfortunatly it wont change.  

There's probably an easy fix for this but i haven't managed to find it (and i have searched both here and google)

If someone could please help me that'd be awsome as i like i've staighted the ipod's my girlfriends (for her upcoming birthday) and unfortunatly she needs rockbox on the ipod has she's pretty much blind and wouldn't be able to navigate the standard ipod menu's.

Any help is much appreciated whatever it may be.

regards

Lee

by the way i'm running vista x64 and i've put rockbox-ipodmini2g-20070517 on the ipod

Does this happen every time you try to connect USB while in Rockbox?

Does the iPod's USB work okay if you just reboot it into the apple firmware, and connect USB there?

LeeZer:
yes every time i connect it via usb.  I've just opened it up and i've disconnected the battery.  after doing that it works again, and if boot it up in drive mode then connect it via usb it works and windows detects etc.  however when i try to disconnect it by using "safely disconnect" it doesn't go from the "don't disconnect" screen (on the ipod). if i disconnect it by ignoring the warning it says "ok to disconnect" but i can't get it off that screen now :(.  

I haven't tried it in ipod mode yet but if i can get it off this screen i will try.  

Llorean:
Just hold Menu+Select until the screen clears.

Also, if it's actually on the iPod "Don't Disconnect" screen, you're in the Apple USB mode (Rockbox doesn't have a USB mode, it just restarts into it), which means it's a problem with the iPod itself.
