Yeah a screenshot would be nice. Just to make sure. It's not that we don't believe you.
Do you also have the bootloader (FWIMG01.DAT) located under "P:/Gigabeat/GBSYSTEM/FWIMG/" ?

Sorry for the delay in responding. I left for vacation (without the player). Just got back to it last night. I got it running by doing the following. I redownloaded the rockbox.zip and the fwimg01.dat files. I noticed that the file size of the dat went from 50kb to 65, so something had changed. Anyway, I also noticed that there was not a .rockbox folder on the gigabeat. I proceeeded to remove all the files that were extracted to the root from the first attempt. I then re-extracted the rockbox.zip files (this time I used the Win XP zip utility). This time it created the .rockbox folder and subfolders. I moved the new fwimg01 file into place (after renaming the previous one). Turned it off, switched off the battery for 15 seconds and then fired it back up. It came up and gave an error -2 and then locked up. I rebooted it back into the gigabeat firmware, restored all of the files that did not have "rock" in the title or extension, that I had previously deleted and replaced the DAT file. That still caused an error (-1 I think). I then took an older version of the fwimg01.dat that I had downloaded from July 13th and used it. It worked... go figure. Thanks for helping and giving suggestions. On a side question, What files HAVE to remain at the root level? I have a bunch with names like afrikaans, aniX-X, bt-color-big, codec-xxx, czech (and other languages), pop rock classical (which seem to be eq), vxx-color, volx-b.

For the Rockbox firmware itself, none. All necessary files are in the /.rockbox folder.
Obviously you must not delete the /GBSYSTEM folder, as it contains critical files for the OF and Rockbox bootloaders.
Everything else is personal preference...
