Updated: rockbox nano 4gb 1st gen database problem
amckinley03:
Hi GodEater,
Thanks for pointing out my obvious mistake! There were some filesystem problems, I ran chkdsk, removed rockbox and reinstalled in the current build.
However unforunately I still have the same issues. Upon restarting, properly this time, it got right through to 9/9 of commiting the database. However when I went into database from the main menu, it says that the database is not ready, just like it did the first time.
Any ideas on what to try next?
Best regards and thanks,
Alastair

Probably a silly question, but did you run "chkdsk /F"?
amckinley03:
chkdsk /F /V /R
Is there any point in reformatting the ipod and trying again? Maybe an older rockbox build? Any debugging info I could dig up?

Chronon:
I have seen people with problematic files before that cause the metadata parser to choke. You might try removing all but a couple of files and see if the database will build properly with those.

When i run chkdsk /E a window pops up but then closes again, i see no data, running xp. I figured this out. i ran the error checkign option and the computer did somethign for about 5 minutes then closed so i assume everything is OK, there was no log file that i could see.
rockbox.ipod is not present, so i will reinstall.
I was trying to use Izarc to unzip but it would not create the .rockbox, so i used windows to unzip. As a different try i deleted everything in .rockbox and then unzipped using Izarc.
When initializing the database i found more thne the 473 songs, kept counting to 800 then jumped to 1197. i did the soft restart pressing and holding the play/pause, it started to commit database at 3/9 "Panic Dir entry 0 in sector 3 is not free! 01 64 00 61.
Upon a reboot it committed database up to 9/9 and then went to the main menu, still wants to initialize the database.
When looking at the files they all seem to be there.
What should my next step be. Thanks.
