I've problem "No partition found. Insert USB cable and fix it."
luisan1977:
Hello, I believe already that where this the error, and because gives the failure of the partition, when installing ipodlinux uses aefdisk32.exe, with which it creates a partition to install ipodlinux.
aes x /delete:x
aes x /pri:YYYY:fat32
That I must make to leave ipod like at the outset?

i've been having this problem aswell, its driving me nutz
i have a black 4GB Gen1 Nano
havent tried using windows's native format/partitioner im a linux freak
also here is fdisk's output
Disk /dev/sdc: 4095 MB, 4095737344 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 497 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 10 80293+ 0 Empty
/dev/sdc2 11 497 3911824+ b W95 FAT32
and also for some strange reason diagnostics mode says "PARTITION UNKNOWN" in teh drive info... page thingy,
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sd$#
dunno whats wrong my heads starting to hurt
upon changing partition ID to 0C it fails faster im gonna go to my friends house and try restoring it with itunes and get back to every1 previously ive been doing the
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodManualRestore
its weird cause the apple firmware can write/create the directories on first boot but rockbox fails to detect/mount
ok so i went to a friends house to have him format it with windowsXP fixed the diagnostic hd_info patition=fat32
but still rockbox fails to boot
think it might have something to do with it being a "nike ipod"? i dunno i bought it off craigslist
so yeah theres my problem i gotta find out what makes this ipod so different

i manually copied the rockbox zip content in the root directory of the ipod (I:\.rockbox)
(used this version 14968 and r14974: http://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-ipodnano/rockbox.zip)
the ipod boots perfect, i see the rockbox logo, and then a pastel-blue screen with black text appears:
--- Code: ---No partition
found.
Insert USB cable
and fix it
--- End code ---
i also tired the auto auto update tool http://download.rockbox.org/rbutil/win32/rbutilqt-v1.0.1.zip
i manually selected "apple ipod nanon 1st gen) at I:\ (autodetection works too)
bootloader installation dont work:
--- Code: ---Starting Bootloader installation
Searching ipods
No Ipods found
--- End code ---
but the rockbox installation works without a problem. i tried both versions "archived build" and "current build"
i tried to completely delete the ipod and fat32 format it with windows, also tried ipodpatcher's "format"

all with the same result. "no partition found. insert usb cable and fix it"
is there something else i can do? i really would like to get rid of apples "system", i really want to use rockbox.
are there any other things i can try on a windows machine? is there a "hard disk" image of the ipod, with the correct partition which i only have to wirte to the ipod? are there any debug tools / log files i can look into or sent to you to help you debug it?
