Installing Rockbox on c250

[SansaC250]

When I run Rockbox Utility and choose Autodetect it determines that I have c200, though I have c250. I ckick Ok and go on. After clicking on Complete Installation it pop ups a windows saying 'No Sansa detected'. Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

c250 f/w version is 01.01.07P

Thanks.

your sansa needs to be in msc usb mode set in the OF system settings

It is. I see it as drive U in Windows Explorer and Rockbox Utility sees it during Autodetect.

I have the same problem.
Just install it manually.

I figured it out. It was USBDLM - USB Drive Letter Manager - I'm running which probably made the system partition on Sansa invisible for sansapatcher. After disabling USBDLM temporarily I was able to manually install the RB.

I've had this same problem during the installation attempt on my Windows XP (service pack 3) system.

I have a Sansa c250 with the latest (Sansa) firmware.

Using the Rockbox utility, the autoinstall will install Rockbox but not the bootloader ("Detecting Sansa--No Sansa").

So how does one go about temporarily disabling the USBDLM (I don't see it active via the Task Manager, fwiw)?  I've tried the manual install but that won't work either.

I have a Sansa c250 with the latest (Sansa) firmware.

If "the latest Sansa firmware" means a firmware starting with 03.XX.XX, then that means you have a v2 Sansa, which currently can not run Rockbox.

If you have a firmware starting with 01.XX.XX, then are you running Rockbox Utility and/or Sansapatcher with admin rights?

"The latest Sansa firmware" means the latest update for a version 1 player, namely 01.01.07P.  I've updated the firmware a number of times since purchasing the player.

It is absolutely not a version 2 player.

Edit to add:
And yes, I am attempting the installation with administrative privileges.

It seems to be really hard to read. Quoting the Rockbox Utility wiki page:

o (w32) "No Sansa found" error when trying to install the bootloader for e200 / c200 (FS#9729).

As this in the "upcoming release" section ... well, it still must be present in the current release, right? Use sansapatcher instead or (as explained in a different thread already) Rockbox Utility 1.0.7, which doesn't contain the issue. Btw, the forums have a search function.
