Make sure that when you browse the drive corresponding to your iPod, you see a directory .rockbox in the root, e.g. Z:\.rockbox

If you are using windows, unzipping the build can be done by right-clicking on the rockbox.zip file you downloaded, selecting "Extract All", then browsing to the drive corresponding to your iPod (Z: in the example above)

in my PC (i am using XP), iPod drive is F: and i have already extracted rockbox.zip in to F:... and .rockbox directory is already there. i am so confuse why installation is not complete...  ???

before i install rockbox, i have ipodlinux in my ipod. is that mean i have to remove the ipodlinux first??

If you are installing under gnu/linux, make sure you did *not* use mkfs.vfat to format the data partition. If you did, format it again using mformat. Apparently mkfs.vfat has issues when formatting 2048 cylinder filesystems.
