c200: Cannot delete .rockbox folder

[kc0dxf]

I just acquired a rebuilt c200.  I verified that it is v1.xx so I proceded download the autoinstaller on my Ubuntu Linux v8.04.  I fired up the autoinstaller and got it to find the c200 without much trouble.  I proceded to install Rockbox v3.1.  It appeared to work although it said it was unable to install the themes because they were not ready.  I tried to restart the c200 and the Rockbox boot screen appeared but it never got past that.  Several reboot attempts resulted in the same behavior.  I am able to boot into the Sansa software without any trouble.

I decided to try a manual install.  I connected the c200 and used a shell to CD into the c200 folder and right away I see some strange stuff on the .rockbox dir.  Take a look:
d??? ? ?     ?        ?                ? .rockbox

So in other words, no permissions or ownership.  I cannot delete or move the folder.  When I attempt to unzip, it also will not work.

Any suggestions?

Reset the folder permissions by typing the following at the terminal (and make sure you're on the Sansa's root folder; cd to it with cd /Media/<name of sansa>):

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod 1755 .rockbox

Afterwards, enter "ls -alp" (minus the quotes) and check that the permissions read "rwxr-xr-x".

No can do.  I get the following:
chmod: cannot access `.rockbox': Input/output error
