dual boot to rhapsody firmware
P.Opus:
Success!!!!
Granted, I screwed up and put the .rockbox folder in the wrong location, like a dingbat, and got the dreaded "could not find rockbox" message. However, simply using recovery mode and placing the original firmware .mi4 file got me back up and running.
After I "re-read" the fine manual, I caught my mistake, downloaded the .165 firmware file from Sandisk, loaded the .165 firmware file in the system directory (after renaming it of course), moved the .rockbox folder in it's proper location,
Rebooted the Sansa, and then used recovery mode to load the boot loader (the one you rename to pp5022.mi4) into the hidden partition, and Voila!!!
Success.
What a cool system. I gotta hand it to you fellows, what a great program.
Now the only thing left to do was to move all my stuff out of the "music" folder into a folder I made called "my music" so that the file browser will allow me to browse that folder without setting the file settings to "view all".
BTW. Read the installation instructions, they are quite fine, and the Windows installation, is really quite easy, if you have any computer knowlege whatsoever, (and make sure you read fully where to put stuff.)
I also tested dual booting, and all my Rhapsody Channels work as well. You guys are great. You've just extended the life of my Sansa E280R by an immeasurable amount.
Who needs a Sansa View when I have Rockbox. By the time those 16Gig and above SDHC cards come out, I'm sure that USB will be fully functioning in Rockbox, and the only need to dual boot will be to listen to exclusive Rhapsody content.

I'm glad to hear it worked out! Yeah, there was a problem earlier with the rockbox BL and the OF, but the bugs were worked out, and it is working now. Glad to hear your support for Rockbox, and I completely agree, this will allow the Sansa to not go out of "style" too soon.
