RB hangs immediately after Battery voltage message

[Mus]

Hi,

I installed a new 120GB ZIF drive in my H140. I can access the drive via USB no problem, Swissnifed it and installed Rockbox.

Now the player hangs after the first few message. The iRiver firmware boots up but doesn't see any files.

Any clues what this means?

Thanks

What messages are displayed? Are any of them referring to .rockbox not found?

May it be that your 120GB was not formatted with FAT32?

Also, it needs to be a primary partition.

Thanks guys,

I think the non-FAT32 formatting might be the problem if these drives are generally supplied as NTFS.

I'll try it later.

Windows will refuse to format a drive bigger than 40 GB as FAT32, and insist on NTFS because of a brain dead decision by MS to try and force people to use NTFS.  Therefore if you used windows to format it, it will be NTFS.  You need to use a third party utility, such as Swissknife or fat32format.

Thanks BB

I used Swissnife to activate the Primary partition and format to FAT32 then   installed Rockbox using the installation utility.

The iRiver firmware works fine now but Rockbox says 'Loading firmware Result -1'

?

Did you definitely get the H120/H140 build and not the H110/H115?

The Rockbox utility correctly identified the H140 on the right drive...

There is a .rockbox folder containing the right stuff.

I even replaced .rockbox with all the Rockbox folder/files from my old 60Gb disk and that didn't work either...


Oh well, I put the 60Gb drive back and it still works fine.

If anybody gets any ideas let me know...?







OK. Windows said 111 Gb free. Swissnife said 0 Gb free. I repartitioned again and Rockbox loaded. 

I closed the case and got an ATA -11 error but that's a different story.

Glad I asked you guys the questions.
