have to eject memory card for RB to boot

I did that. I used Sansapatcher to uninstall the older bootloader and tried to install the official, "Current build" through the Rockbox Utility in the automatic and manual mode. Everything processes like it is installing and even shows the file extraction scxreen to completion but when the installation finishes, I look at the root of my device and there is nothing Rockbox related.

The black screen that comes up on my device when I try to boot RB doesn't have the bootloader info but does say "File Not Found".

MarcGuay:
But you didn't install the bootloader with Sansapatcher... It would have made more sense to uninstall it via the method described by the people who gave you the installer...

Is "File Not Found" all it says?  

If you extract files manually to the root of your player they should be there.  When you say "manual mode" what do you mean?

lewislink:
The Rockbox I installed has an Uninstallion file I used to uninstall the other Rockbox. The manual mode of extracting directly to the Sansa can't work because the Sansa doesn't show up on the location selection screen of the unzipper. The Sansa does show up in My Computer and I can access it with no troubles but it doesn't show up in the file extraction process. The manual mode I used was the "Install" feature of the Rockbox Utlity that is beside the Automatic instaltion feature. I used both methods but neither one will put files on the Sansa even though the installation progresses as though it is putting files there.

As far as what else the screen says when attempting to boot Rockbox, the "File Not Found" line is repeated a few times but there is other info that I can't get to. It disappears in about 2 seconds or so. I've reinstalled the unofficial Rockbox and am asking around in the Sandisk forum, where I got the RB, for help in resolving the memory card issue and don't desire to try to reinstall the official RB untill I can get some info as to why it won't actually install. When I install the official RB, through the Rockbox Utility, it doesn't put anything visible on the drive root of my Sansa e250. There isn't any bootloader intalled and, in fact, while having the unofficial RB installed, I tried to install the official Bootloader but it won't install because the RB installed is an old version. But when I install the official RB, the official Bottloader installs just fine and shows so in the installation progress screen during Automatic install.

MarcGuay:
1)  What's the entire error message?

2) Rockbox Utility doesn't have anything called "manual mode" (unless you mean the manual tab where you can read/download the instruction manual?) or "automatical installation".  Could you be very specific?  Have you tried exactly what I described 4 posts ago?  

3) What does Windows call your Sansa in My Computer?

JdGordon:
try uninstalling the bootloader with sansapatcher and dont do anything else untill you get back to having it only boot into the OF.

once your back to a vanilla e200 use rbutil to install the bootloader AND current build (you need to do both, iirc rbutil doesnt do them in 1 step)
