So about a month ago I was messing around with my gigabeat and since then it's been nothing more than an expensive paperweight.  I think I deleted the firmware.  Whatever I did, it makes it not play.  The music files are on there because I can access them and play them via windows explorer, but when I try to play the device itself I get "file not found" for everything.

So, then I hear about rockbox.  Excellent!  So excited.  Did the manual install...nada.  Did the auto install...nada.  So, apparently whatever I did initially is still messing up my player.  Any suggestion on how to fix this?  I have an F-series (I think an F-40).  I do not have my original software (or if I do it's at the bottom of a box in storage) and I've changed laptops since I first got the device.  

I've been using Media Monkey to sync my player/laptop.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how I can get my tunes back.  My commute is lonely now!

Llorean:
Since we can'r read minds would you care to be more precise than 'nada'?

mandom74:
nada = nothing.  Nothing happened.  No change.  It still boots the same way it was booting.  Songs still won't play.  There was zero impact except that now there's a .rockbox folder on my player.

Llorean:
Then you didn't properly instal Rockbox. Nada could've meant that Rockbox booted but the beaviour did not change in which case I would've given different adcvice. In this case my advice is to reread the manual and make sure the bootloader actually gets installed this time as it too is essential.

mandom74:
No.  It's installed fine.  I have no question about that.  I think the problem is the lack of firmware or other files that I think I deleted before I even found out about rockbox (remember, I said it was broken before).

What other files do I need to have on my player for rockbox to function correctly?
