Hi All
This is a quick update & thanks for solving:
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=17065.0Especially 'dreamlayers' who finally cracked it

The update is, I have now swapped the HD from my dying X5L & placed it into the remains of the X5L whose HD originally died in the bizarre but hilarious accident, that got me the dying X5L as an insurance replacement.
I now have a fully functional X5L with all my +3500 tracks from my CD & Vinyl collection as well as Rockbox the only player to handle OGG & gapless play so well

All I got to do now is figure out how to fix my favourite WPS
