As it seems I have finally decided to move back to the original firmware of my toshiba MEGF40, but what I have found is I can not, I have tried all procedures but its seems my oriingal firmware and other stuff have gone missing. Now I get an error of no system found on HDD, and impossible to install ever.

Now I am thinking a few solutions, maybe some files or people who have original firmware who can supply me? I do not know what to do please someone assist me.

Phalangees:
Sounds like something happened to the original bootloader. If you browser to GBSYSTEM/FWIMG you should see FWIMG01.DAT and hopefully FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG. If you want to go back to the original firmware you need to delete the FWIMG01.DAT and rename the FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG back to FWIMG01.DAT.

If that still gives you problems please post again. I've got a few other possible solutions in my head.

Just out of curiosity, why is it that you decided to go back to the original firmware?

Slizer6893:
I need those files, somehow they got deleted? I only want to go back to original firmware, to let my cousin burrow this MP3 player for awhile, he is going on a few trips and I felt bad he had none, but I hate to give him rockbox as its not easy to know right away. Anyway someone can upload theres, would it work on myn.

Phalangees:
I'm not entirely sure if someone else's would work on yours. I'm pretty sure it depends on whether or not they had the same version of firmware as you. Did you ever use the original firmware with gigabeat room? If you did, you may be in luck. If you browse to the installation path of C:/Program Files/Gigabeat Room or something like that, there should be a GBSYSTEM folder in there somewhere. I can't remember exactly where though. Make sure you can view hidden and system folders under folder options. Well that GBSYSTEM folder contains a few backup items that may be enough to allow you to boot. I'm not sure though. Try it out and see.

Sadly I do not any old files, is there anyway to erase that loading of rockbox in the beginning, that way I can send it in and they will fix it for me
