This is kind of important. Try explaining exactly what you do remember doing. Have you ever put the device in recovery mode? How big was the disk when you reformated it?

Unless you've broken the power button, you're probably just not doing it correctly.
--- Quote from: nirvana21 on October 14, 2008, 09:50:32 AM ---So would it be possible to make a 16mb FAT32 partition and place rockbox on there if I cannot get anything else to work? Or is this probably something that would not work?

You need to fix the original firmware before you can install rockbox, so this will not help. Once you have fixed the original firmware, you can then install rockbox normally.

I was attempting to reformat my usb drive, which is also 8GB, and I wasn't thinking and reformatted my sansa. I have never put the device in recovery mode. I cannot recall the exact size of the disk, and I cannot remember if it was multiple partitions.

I don't think it is broken, but I hold it down for a long time (greater then 15seconds) and nothing happens. So I have to let the battery die.

Well can I put the original firmware back on somehow then?
Thanks for the help!!

Then you should still have access to recovery mode. I don't think you can break that without first entering it.

As far as I know its either broken or it works. If you're certain you're doing it right, my guess is it means you've broken something.

Good News. Maybe I cannot count or maybe because I cleaned the inside of my sansa up, but I can get it to shut off. As a result I have been able to install firmware!
I feel really dumb about the entire power/menu button thing, but thanks for helping me! This is a really great project and so far I am really enjoying rockbox!
