Rockbox installation 101...HELP

Hi everyone, I'm new here so bear with me please.

OK heres the deal, my computer crashed and so when I got it up and running I needed to re-install gigabeat room software of which I could not find the cd for.  So, I googled it and thought I had found the software but of course it was gigabeat with rockbox so I installed it to no avail it wiped my Gigabeat F20 clean and so now here I am with Rockbox installed on my computer and a dead gigabeat.

When I power up the gigabeat it just boots into the time screen and I set that up then it goes to a blank screen and no functions work at all, I have to unplug it to shut it down.

So I have Rockbox and all the files on my computer, what do I do next ?  Go easy on me cuz I am baffled at this point.

Thanks in advance :)

LambdaCalculus:
We have a very fine manual that shows you how to install Rockbox. You can read that here.

There is also a link to our in-house tool, Rockbox Utility, that simplifies the installation process. It's located in the manual.

Thanks for the tips.  But like I said I already have rockbox and utility installed.  I dont know where to go next.  I also might add to my original post that my computer does not recognize the gigabeat.

thanks again  HELP !!!

It sounds to me like you have downloaded Rockbox Utility and perhaps downloaded the Rockbox build, but that you haven't actually installed Rockbox to your player.  So, as LambaCalculus has already suggested, "where to go next" is to read the installation chapter of the manual.

Please describe EXACTLY what happens, both on the Gigabeat and on the computer, when you connect the Gigabeat via USB.

Nothing happens when gigabeat is connected to computer via usb, its not recognized at all. And rockbox is installed along with utility, it just doesnt recognize the gigabeat.
