Cannot install drivers for Sansa 200R

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
Sorry, I was in a hurry and misread / made assumptions.

Why exactly are you doing extra things after step 4 instead of just step 5?

tofudr:
When I follow the instructions for entering Manufacturing mode and the prompt comes up from the task bar that an unknown USB device has been detected, if I click on that prompt, as it indicates I should do, then it restarts the Sansa and just loads the Sansa drivers.  

Therefore, I leave the prompt alone and go to the system folder/hardware/device manager and double click on the unknown USB device.  I switch to the driver window and tell it to update the driver.  I tell it not to search on the web, and then that I have the necessary driver and that I want to load it manually.  I browse to the driver location and click on the e200.inf file and hit open.  At this stage I get a message telling me that "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware".  If I don't try to load the file manually but instead just tell it where to find the files, it tells me that the driver that is already being used is the best one and it doesn't let me replace it with the new one.

Sorry that this seems so complicated, but it's probably easier for you to understand than it is for me!  I am wondering if there are two (virtual) devices (one being the sansa as a USB hard disk and the other being the Sansa as an MP3 player and if this is the case perhaps I am trying to replace the drivers for the wrong 'virtual'device.

Tofudr, the exact same thing happened to me, what I was doing wrong is that the HOLD switch should be on, that means that you can see orange, therefore towards the headphones jack.

I have been working on this rockbox thing since sunday, and today I was able to do it.

YEIIII!!!

I was having a similar problem.  I am running win7 64-bit and couldn't get driver signing turned off (for the rhapsody sansa manufacturer driver).  Everything worked fine on another 32-bit win7 comp i have.  I tried to get the 64bit driver to work on two different win7 computers.  I know that i was turning off driver signing properly (i used two different methods, including the one suggested in this thread) because a similar process is needed to jailbreak an ipod.

Rockbox Rocks!

BTW, jailbreaking (and custom firmware in general) is not offically LEGAL!!!
