Capacity of sansa e250

(1/3) > >>

sirdan:
Hello, first i want thank you guys for that nice piece of software. I bought sansa because for rockbox.
 But i have one question for users of that player. E250 is 2GB which pratcically means about 1.8 gB. But my second hand player has only 1.2 GB free space with no music on it.  :o Checked in explorer and firmware files takes about 30 MB. So, is there some more hidden folders with some files, or every model has that curious capacity. Or maybe some parts of my flash memory are broken? Do you think that just dirty format and installing fresh firmware can help??

ThaCrip:
i got a e250 and my capacity (according to the properties in Windows Explorer) is exactly... 1,984,987,136bytes (i.e. just shy of 2GB)

if there's nothing you care about on the device i would just format it and copy the rockbox files back onto it and see what happens.

sirdan:
Good news!!
My low capacity was caused by filesystem errors on my player. I plugged my sansa to computer with windows 7 and scanned. System recovered some files from music folder (but i deleted them) and repaired bad sectors. Now its 1.82 GB as expected.  :) Previos owner had hard time with it ;D
BTW. Does anyone know why sansa show up twice in my computer? One drive is I: sansa 250, i can enter and see all stuff, the second drive is removable drive. When doubleclicked i see: "Please insert disc into removable drive J:". Xp and seven as well.

This is the MicroSD slot. There's no card in it, so it gives you that message.

sirdan:
Thanks a lot!
I found that my player was used with Windows Media Player. There was database files on root folder generated by WMP. Maybe that crappy player caused filesystem corruption. Dont use that s**t anyway ;D

Sorry for changing subject but dont want make new topic. Recently usb charging was added to sansas. Is rockbox suppose to start when sansa plugged to usb port? Now just bootloader(?) start and then OF.
Secondly, are developers going to add in near future disc mode to rockbox? I mean to transfering files to sansa while running RB and charging.
