It's in flash. It's not on the disk. What *exactly* have you done while trying to recover it, step by step?

x5.fw

The installation (or upgrade) instructions of the rockbox manual as well as the official cowon ones only mention an x5_fw.bin that has to be placed in a FIRMWARE directory (which you should be able to create if it doesn't exist at the moment). This is what I read in the 2.2.4 Rockbox Manual - Installing the boot loader and on www.cowonglobal.com - support, firmware upgrade.

Note: This is just what I noticed when reading the post, I'm not a 100% sure because I haven't done this myself. Though I think after reading the links thoroughly you might be able to decide...

I hadnt used the x5 for a while.I started it up, but all I got was the white screen, nothing else no response .
I checked through windows explorer and evrything seemed (to my inexpert eyes) to be there all the folders etc.
I tried to rectify this situation by updating with the latest release.
No luck.
This is when my EXPERT friend took over and deleted everything(thro explorer) saying we needed a fresh start.

he put on the latest release etc but still no go. This is where I am now, with the folders and files as explained earlier.
Thanks for the input by the way...

Bagder:
Instead of just repeating yourself, can't you just please try the upgrade procedure as described in the rockbox manual and on the cowon site?

royston:
I have tried the firmware fix as per cowon site followed the instructions to the letter. nothing. When I check via explorer the X5_fw  file has vanished.  I have tried this six times and each time nothing and the x5 file just vanishes..
