okay, i have got a sansa e200 that had rockbox on alongside sansa's own firmware, I then tried deleting rockbox, and messed up. Now when i turn on my sansa it loads the rockbox bootloader and says it can't find the two firmwares. I am a total noob and am using windows xp.

I have loaded it into manufactorers mode and used e200 tool and tried to fix it using that but don't really want to do anything too bad. i have installed the drivers for the manufactorors mode and went on e200 tool and typed in
--- Code: ---C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\My Documents\e200tool>e200tool init
e200tool v0.2.3-alpha (c) by MrH 2006, 2007
Searching for device 0781:0720 ... found!
Initializing USB stub (4780 bytes) ...
Length write error (-5, Input/Output error)
--- End code ---
I don't know what that means so any help would really help!

What is the error message exactly?  It's possible that all you have to do is uninstall the Rockbox bootloader.  

By the way, the term "bricked" refers to a device that won't even turn on.  Don't be a diva. :)

Also, (edit #500), you might want to put e200tool back in the shed if you don't know what you're doing, it's a pretty powerful little guy from what I've heard.

okay, maybe it isn't bricked, i am pretty sure all i do need to do is uninstall the boot loader, how do i do that?

1) Turn it off.
2) Connect the USB cable.
3) It should show up as a 2 drives in Windows explorer (one for the main flash memory and one for the microSD memory card slot).
4) Download RockboxUtility (linked to from the "current build" page, top-left).
5) Uninstall the bootloader.

I cant, I cant seee the player as a drive, it just comes up with the error message, I cant view it at all.
