I am trying to install Rockbox in my Gigabeat F40 to view video files. I have no clue about it, i am tryign to learn it. As per the manual Rockbox, step 1 : installing firmware, I extracted all the files in my player,
http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-gigabeatf.pdf
Step 2: Installing Boot loader - I dont know what it is, what is the root folder from the player means, GBSSYTEM folder , I Cant find it...help me plz..

If you're running under Windows, then you may have to enable Hidden Fiew View, since the GBSYSTEM folder is hidden normally.

Open My Computer, then select Tools > Folder Options, then click the View tab in the config box that appears, and look for an option called "Hidden Files and Folders". Set it to show hidden files and folders, then click OK.

Go back to the manual and pick up where you left off. The "root folder", by the way, would be the first folder in the drive. For example, if your Gigabeat is assigned the drive letter G by Windows, then the root would be G:\, and from there you should have a .rockbox folder and the GBSYSTEM folder.

Llorean:
1) Finish reading the guidelines for the forums, you've missed some important ones like the "real words" one.
2) The manual doesn't mention a "root folder" it says the root of the device. That means "not in any folders." For example the root of your C drive is C:\. The GBSYSTEM folder is hidden, so you need to turn on the ability to see hidden and system files to find it (or type it in manually in the location/address bar).

Or if the instructions are too hard to follow, you could try this handy Rockbox Installer, brought to you by more of the lovely Rockbox Team.

A wee bit OT-ish, but I really should start making it a habit of directing people to rbutil if they're having trouble with the installation process. :)
