Help with rockbox installation (ipod 80gb windows)
Llorean:
Please, use punctuation and at least make an attempt to use real grammar, as per the forum guidelines.
The 30 gig iPod was the "iPod Video". The reason Rockbox cannot run on the "iPod Classic" is because it has completely new insides, and the firmware is encrypted. It will take a lot of people a lot of time to make it work, and right now the people who own Classics, like you, aren't doing the work, and we can't make them do it.

But I see plenty of Rockbox-compatible iPods on eBay.

Do you really expect a consumer website to know about alternative firmwares? Seriously.
Your only options right now are: (1) Go on eBay and look for a device Rockbox will run on, or (2) get to work on a port to the iPod Classic.

If the professionals who made rockbox don;t know how to make it work on the classic how can I the normal guy make it work!!!!! seriously I mean when you come to a restaurant are you the one that is suppose to cook or is it the cook himself!!!.
Llorean:
We aren't professionals. We're all normal guys.
This is like a bunch of people going to the park with hot dogs, firing up some grills, and sharing the hot dogs. You're the new guy who came to the park, and said "Gee, I'd really like some hamburgers." So we said "Well, go get some and grill 'em up, we're not stoppin' yah."
No restaurant or professionals involved. "We" are not "supposed to" do anything for you.

I don't think you can compare encryption breaking and embedded systems programming to picking up a pair of tongs. The former two require specialized skills and knowledge that take years to develop.
