E200R Automatic Bootloader and Rockbox Installer
Bagder:
I've removed the link to the windows binary package from my e200tool page since it just causes confusion to people.
If you want e200tool (or similar functionality) on windows, someone needs to step forward and help writing the usb code.
zajacattack:
OK, would it be possible to use HDHacker (http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/) to read the sectors on the e200R's "hidden partition" and maybe write the modified BL and firmware without having to use e200tool?
DavidGWRawson:
Probably not. This program is just to read drives. In manufacturing mode, sansa is not found as a drive. Therefore, the program will not find the sansa. (I believe, but you can go ahead and try.) I only tested it for five minutes. I'm pretty sure it won't work though...

No, the second partition is hidden and in fact (as far as we know) completely inaccessible using USB in firmware/recovery mode so there's no way to do the install without using the manufacture mode.
zajacattack:
Well, when you compiled the Windows binary in cygwin, did you do the things listed at http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/#development? It says to include the supplied usb.h, link against the library, do NOT include the dll with the program, and to remove usb_busses and use usb_get_busses() instead.
Plus, maybe when using the Windows binary, the user needs to install the filer drivers, and use a device driver that works for the Sansa in manufacturing mode (just use the libusb-win32 device driver and modify it for manufacturing mode).
