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)

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.
