Is there an easy way to go back to the original system

Lets say I find the original Dat file,  What do I do after that to restore my original system?

 ;D I guess I should have finished it. lol.

Well if you have found the original .DAT file and the previous user didn't already delete the firmware off of the gigabeat...

1)Copy the file
2)Hook up your gigabeat and access it. Go to the GBSYSTEM folder
3)Go into the FWIMG folder
4)Inside of there you should be able to see 3-4 files. FWIMG00.DAT, FWIMG01.DAT, FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG(this might not be there), FWIMG02.DAT
5)If the FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG is there then delete the one called FWIMG01.DAT and rename the FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG to FWIMG01.DAT
5a)If the FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG is not there, then just paste the FWIMG01.DAT that you copied out of the Gigabeat Room folder.

Hope that helps. Don't be afraid to ask more or to have things clarified.

Hi! I'm new here and I am having this same issue. I didn't really know what I was doing when I tried to install RB and I ended up overwriting the original FWIMG01.DAT (the one that is the original from Toshiba) with the new one from RB. I never created a FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG file from the original, so now it seems that I cannot get back to my original system file. I want to tinker with RB more but I really need to get that original DAT file back and I have no idea where to find it. Again, I don't want the RB file thats easy enough to get, but the original firmware that was supplied from Toshiba and worked right out of the box. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, and I've tried what you said and it didn't work, as in, I can't get back to the original DAT firmware that was from Toshiba. I'm running a F 40 Gigabeat, too.

CajunFry:
So yeah, I just figured it out after HOURS of getting nowhere.....I feel so dumb....lol

Fancy sharing what you did to fix it in case anyone else has the same problem?
