Sansa 280R v1: seems to install successfully, but doesn't really

Hi folks,

I've got a Sansa 280R v1.0.2.31 that I purchased from Best Buy in the US about a month or so ago.

Following the instructions at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation:

- I have successfully completed the bootloader patching using e200rpatcher with a result of "Firmware Unlocked"
- I then carefully followed step two (numerous times, in fact), placing .rockbox plus pp5022.mi4 in the root, and OF.mi4 in the system directory.
-After "Safely removing" my Sansa, I disconnected the USB cable.  

The result was that  it rebooted,  refreshed the  database, displayed "upgrading firmware", and then "upgrade successful".   It rebooted itself at which point the instructions say that it *should* have booted to Rockbox, but it did not!  It booted to Sansa Rhapsody again.  

I am using Windows XP with Admin privileges.

I've read through various forum posts, google searches, and rockbox manual text and haven't found a solution for my issue.  Can anyone toss me a clue?  :)

Thanks!

Did you try that?  Kind of obvious but sometimes it's that simple...

MarcGuay,

Indeed I did.  Multiple `nother reboots.  No luck.

Do you see the Rockbox bootloader doing anything (small white text on a black background) when you boot up, or does it look the same as it did before?  Did you make sure that you indeed have a real Rhapsody model (info on how to tell is at the top of the page you linked to)?

Good questions.

I do not see any indication of the Rockbox bootloader doing anything.  It simply boots up to Sansa Rhapsody as it's always done.

The back of my sandisk says model 280R, and I have the Rhapsody/Plays for Sure selections in the mode settings.  So I'm pretty sure I have the Rhapsody version.
