Boot Loader Can't Find iPod

(1/3) > >>

NeoDestiny:
I've downloaded the current build and extracted the .zip file into my iPod's root folder as .rockbox, and now I've downloaded the bootloader onto my computer.  When I open the bootloader, it says "[ERR]  No ipods found, aborting".

My iPod is in disk mode (I did the hold down seven buttons for 3 minutes and toggle hold switch etc..etc...) and my computer can very plainly see the iPod (I can look at files on it, I see a USB device attached on my computer) but for some reason the bootloader won't recognize it?

My OS is Windows ME.

Thank you for the help!

Llorean:
Ipodpatcher is not the bootloader. It is the program that installs the bootloader.

It only works on Windows 2000/XP/Vista and possibly NT, I believe (and the other non-windows OSes that are listed, of course).

NeoDestiny:
Well, it opens with my computer, it just can't find the iPod...

But if that's the case, am I just "out of luck" when it comes to installing rockbox?

Llorean:
You could use a Linux LiveCD to run the Linux version of the installer.

betamaxman:
Does itunes see your ipod?
Remember ipodpatcher needs ipod apple firmware to find the ipod.
Without the firmware it is just a glorified usb hard drive.  8-)
