Gigabeat F60 System Error 00000003

(1/3) > >>

Nate!:
After doing a fresh official install of r15592, I received a System Error 00000003.  I think this is more of a hardware error than the 0x01 error with a missing bootloader or whatever.  Does anyone know of a way around this?  

Again, I've tried a fresh official install.

I've tried using the Gigabeat format utility and the Toshiba Gigabeat firmware update program, to go back to the original firmware.  Sometimes it will boot up with the original firmware, but most of the time I just get the above error.  

Rockbox doesn't boot anymore regardless of how much I reboot, pray, cross my fingers, or sacrifice chickens etc.

I've run scandisk and no errors are found.  (Which is really perplexing since the error seems to point to a hardware issue)

Windows XP recognizes drive even after error is seen.  USB splash screen is seen once cable is plugged in directly after error.  Can copy or move files to and from drive adequately.

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advanced.

scharkalvin:
Your hard disk may have died.
Try running fdisk on the connected player and see
if the partition table is present.  (just use the "p" command).

I suspect that the usb connection would be made even if the hard disk is
dead, but you wouldn't see anything useful there.

Nate!:
Whoa, fdisk.  I haven't seen that word in years.  Refresh my memory please, do I need to format and create a bootable system floppy to get that util?  I don't see it any where in XP Pro.

GodEater:
No, just run it from the command prompt. (Hint: Start->Run, then type cmd, and hit ok)

Nate!:
That's what I thought, but I get the error: 'fdisk' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I searched and couldn't find the util using fdi*.* or fdisk.exe.  I even manually searched in the system32 dir where chkdsk is located.

I'm logged in as an admin and have the options checked/unchecked to see hidden and system files.

Aside from using fdisk to see if the partition table is still in tact, would I be able to move and/or copy files to and from the GB if it wasn't?

Thanks again for everyone's help.
