Trouble getting rockbox to work

(1/2) > >>

darthpepito:
hello, i have a sansa e260. i installed rockbox, everything seemed to be going swimmingly. until it had to restart to "commit database", in which it got stuck at 5/9 for more than an hour. now, i can reach the original firmware by holding the left button, but my computer doesnt recognize it when it is plugged it. it sees it (in mass storage) as a drive letter, but explorer freezes when i try to access it.

whats the deal here? is there any way to get it back to working properly, if only with the original firmware?

Chronon:
The failure to access the Sansa from the original firmware seems to indicate some corruption to the OF or possibly to the filesystem.  A couple of things to try:

1) Run chkdsk /f x: replacing x with the drive letter for your player.

2) Restore the original firmware using Recovery Mode and then reinstall Rockbox.

darthpepito:
thanks for the input. but chkdsk didnt work, it just flashed the window and didnt do anything. i can see the two drives, (the sd card port and the internal drive) but they both are blank.

i did do the recovery mode thing, so it kinda works now. it starts up normal, i can play music, but when i plug it in and try to open it in wmp, it shows me all my songs, but insists that the player is full. so i cant add anything to it? also, it will only be "recognized" by my computer in mtp mode.

Chronon:
What do you mean flashed the window?  You ran it from the command line, right?  It should give some output one way or another.  It sounds like you still have some filesystem errors.

darthpepito:
i mean that i ran the command from start->run and the black command window appeared and disappeared. i made sure windows was working properly by checking another disk, and that worked fine. it just happened for the sansa disk.

but, it appears i was able to fix my problem. i somehow formatted the sansa through wmp, and am now able to transfer music. i guess i will give rockbox another go, but after that, ill just say eff it if i cant get it to work.
