Can't install--failed to add bootloader

(1/4) > >>

discoverer:
I installed rockbox with this ipod(5.5Gen,30GB)
But now(after I upgraded the firmware into 1.23 and re-formated it )when I try to install rockbox using rockbox utility,(using all the options the program provides) it ends up saying "failed to add bootloader"

I tried to install bootloader through Ipod patcher but  it ends up like
"failed to read from disk..."/"failed to move images"
(stuff like that)

I'm stuck--plz help. I looked everywhere in this forum but can't find any good stuff for me....

Plz do not use plz here -- our posting guidelines ask you to use real words, and upon signup for the forums you agreed following them.

As for your problem, please check if you have issues with your cable -- i.e. a (possibly) partly broken cable (try to use a different one) or issues with the USB port. Make sure there is no hub between computer and Ipod and do not use front usb ports -- there have been reports with bootloader installations failing under this circumstances. It seems that some PCs have rather bad cabling especially to front hubs.

well... my problem is a different one...

my ipod's partition is completely messed up(but I can run nornal apple OS) and I can't use 4gb of space or install rockbox.
( I found this out when my ipod's capacity and usable capacity did not match)
this is sad... no wonder formating did not work.
(I've done it about five times...with windows,with itunes recovery,...still no avail.)

No, no no no.
The iPod Classic has nothing in common with the Gen 5 video except physical appearance.  They are completely different hardware and Rockbox does not work on the Classic.
