I have no idea what to do with Laureens suggestion a little more detail would be helpful.

Have you read he page he linked?  If so, what on it was unclear?

P.S. It is Llorean

[dylstar]

yeah sorry I didn't get the name correct.....yeah I got the link then what?  I mean there are all kinds of things mentioned.....thats what I meant about a little more detail...

Download rockbox utility for windows (I assume) from the link on that page and run it.  Follow the instructions in it.

[dylstar]

ok, thanks will try that....

[dylstar]

I don't get it...I am not trying to uninstall rockbox...I am trying to get it loaded! I uninstalled it......I want to load it. Guess I will just stick with the original gigabeat software

1)  Again, please do not double post.

2)  Rockbox utility is both for installing and uninstalling rockbox.

Guess I will just stick with the original gigabeat software

3)  That is probably best.

Thanks for you "help" I won't double post whatever that is...I was telling you what I needed.  I appreciate what you are doing here and it looks like a great system as I have said before..I probally double posted again. I will try that link.
I won't bother you anymore..I will try the link and if it doesn't work..I will be happy with the gigabeat firmware, as you tech's on here have all the patience of a buzard.

Double posting is posting again rather than modifying your previous post if no-one has posted inbetween.

I don't know how patient buzzards are, but I'm guessing you mean not very.  I'm sorry if I came across as testy as I didn't intend to, but you are not being very helpful.

I'm not a mind reader - what link did you try, which link doesn't work?  You need to say EXACTLY what you have done, with any EXACT error messages.

dyslar,

Many, many people have installed Rockbox on a Gigabeat following the instructions in the manual. Therefore it is very likely that your problem is pilot error. Therefore it is vital, if you want help, to describe exactly what you did, leaving out no steps or details.

As an example, you say you "extracted it". How? What program did you use to unpack the zip file?

And be patient. You are asking for free help from volunteers. It's poor manners to get so impatient. You originally posted less than 8 hours ago and already have 10 posts trying to help despite the fact that you continue to ignore the posting guidelines you agreed to read when you signed up for the forum. I'd say people are being admirably patient with you.

Dylstar, you haven't provided enough information to allow us to help you. If you want help, be polite, follow the instructions people give and, and provide information to us when we request it. Otherwise, I will close this thread.
