Can't remove .rockbox and other bad stuff

(1/6) > >>

Roanoke:
So I tried to install rockbox. With the provided utility. Everything seemed to go fine, then I rebooted my 2GB 1G FAT32 ipod nano, and got an error message saying that rockbox couldn't open a file. I forgot which one it was, but I'll find out if I can fix this problem. I can't remove the .rockbox directory: it's a read only filesystem. When I try and configure the uninstaller, I get this message:

--- Quote ---Your configuration is invalid. This is most likely due to a new installation of Rockbox Utility or a changed device path. The configuration dialog will now open to allow you correcting the problem.

--- End quote ---
Upon which I make sure I have the right settings, and press "continue", upon which I get the error above.
Can anyone help me?

Sounds like filesystem issues. Try running chkdsk /f (or fsck.vfat) on the player -- uninstallation on a read only drive is obviously not possible ;)

Roanoke:

--- Quote ---D:\>chkdsk /f
The type of file system is FAT32
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount to this volume? <Y/N>

So what happened next?

Roanoke:
Sorry. I decided Y would get me farther.

--- Quote ---(Y/N) Y
Volume dismounted. All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

1.) I have no idea what could be using the drive besides the terminal.
2.) After the prompt, the script exits, either with a "This volume will be checked..." message or silence.
