No .rockbox directory - Installationn incomplete

I recently attempted to switch to rockbox software as the gigabeat started acting very sporadic.  I first tried to upgrade the firmware (I had 2.02) but that didn't work.  Something about an incomplete upgrade and it kicked back down to 2.02.  I did all the steps that I found here (download the zip file, download the fwimg01, extract all the zip files to the root of the gigabeat, rename the fwimg01.dat file to fwimg01.dat.orig, move the new file to the subdirectory, disconnect the usb, turn off the power, slide the battery switch off (for 1 minute)and turn it back on).  The version of rockbox I downloaded is r13861-070712.  When I turn it back on, it shows "No .rockbox directory" "Installationn incomplete".  It shows several files and a couple of directories.  I copied some mp3 songs into a new directory and when I try to play them, it says something about no codecs.  If I go to the database section, it states "database is not ready, Initialize now".  Then it shows "building database... 0 found".  Going to the version section, it shows "can't open .rockbox/rocks/credits.rock".  Where did I go wrong?

Phalangees:
Double check you have the most recent FWIMG01.DAT and rockbox.zip

cdeanp:
I downloaded the rockbox zip files from http://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=gigabeatf and the fwimg.dat from http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/GigabeatFXPort?rev=1;filename=FWIMG01.DAT.  How do you know if the dat file is the latest?  I will try it again.

The steps I followed were posted by dsweet in Jannuary.  Did I miss something?

GodEater:
Why are you following steps "posted" by someone in January, and not following the steps as laid out in the manual ?

Febs:
It sounds like you did not extract the complete contents of the rockbox.zip file to the root of your player.  Go to the "current build" page, download the most recent build, and extract it to the root of your player.
