Installation / Removal > Sandisk - Installation/Removal
long installation writing time to e260?
Sammytheorangutan:
There is no .rockbox folder that I can see although the Sansa screen still says, "Writing", and has been (this time) for approx 5 minutes. Maybe it's just time for me to forget the whole Rockbox thing and stick with the original firmware. I'm beginning to think it's not worth the hassle. On a good note, plugging the cable in to one of the rear USB ports (as opposed to one of the front ones) seems to cause the computer to recognize the Sansa. Thanks for that.
MarcGuay:
When does it say "Writing"? After clicking "Install Rockbox"? You could always try the manual install as described in the manual but I think that the problems you're having can be solved very easily.
Sammytheorangutan:
After clicking on either "Install Bootloader" or "Install Rockbox". Maybe there's something wrong with my Sansa. It's a refurb now that I think about it. Could that be an issue? I always assumed that hardware would be the only things affected by a refurb.
MarcGuay:
When you turn it on do you still get the black screen with the small white text? That is the Rockbox bootloader. If it is installed, you don't need to do it again, and the error message it displays is most likely "i can't find the .rockbox folder."
When you click "Install Rockbox", does a Window appear that allows you to choose what build to install? After you pick one and say "Ok", do you see it downloading and extracting rockbox.zip? Does it complete with a "Installation finished successfully" message? Please state exactly what you are doing and what messages the software is giving you, it's quite helpful to help you.
And I don't think there is anything wrong with your device.

When I click on "Install Rockbox" I get everything except, "Installation finished successfully". Hmmm...
