Sansa Freezes While Writing Bootloader
zajacattack:
Well, from my experience, WinZIP is very successful. Also, be sure it's not a v2 and try a different PC, that can sometimes fix the problem.

Update: Oddly enough, I tried to load the e260 on another laptop, still XP, although a better processor (Celeron vs. a duo), and it loaded FINE! Still used winRAR, and all other methods used to load were "apples to apples."
Any ideas on why this loaded without a hitch?
Thanks for all your time, zajacattack!
Now that Rockbox is up and running, I can see why it's such a desired upgrade!

I honestly believe it is due to the poor USB support in Windows. Different drivers and updates on different comps can affect this. For example, on my XP, the printer only works in one USB port and not the other. I also had to do the BL patching in one USB port as the other failed. Now, exactly what is behind this I am not sure. I guess that it has to do with the API and drivers inside the Windows kernel.
And, you are very welcome, it was my pleasure.

I'm having the exact same problem with my e280 now. I am using a Dell Latitude D810 laptop, with XP for its OS, and I do NOT have a v2 e280. It is a V1 (yes I have double and tripled checked).
The e280 just gets stuck in "Writing" mode after I run the bootloader. I just can't get past this step.
Anyone else have some ideas on how to clear this hurdle??
Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you make sure it's not a Rhapsody model as well (method is described above)?

Do you mean that the Sansa firmware shows "Writing" on the screen?

Do you mean sansapatcher?
