System Error 00000010 on Gigabeat F60

(1/6) > >>

Plerg:
My Gigabeat F60 was running fine, but one day it gave me a "System Error 00000010" message. I turned the battery off and then on again, but the same thing happened. I left the battery off overnight, and the next day it worked fine for about 30 minutes, then the same error appeared.

Now all I'm getting is the error. I've updated Rockbox, ran chkdsk, tried the recovery procedure and even formatted it, but I'm getting the same error. My Gigabeat is currently formatted with nothing on the drive (no GBSYSTEM or any other file) and I'm still getting the same error, so I'm not sure what the problem is. It also looks like a Gigabeat error message, not a Rockbox error message.

I've searched for the problem but found very little information. It seems that everyone else with this problem can't access the drive on their computer, but I can. The player displayed "ATA ERROR -11" on the screen when I removed it from the computer for quite some time before I had any problems with it, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Sorry for the long post, but does anyone have an idea to get it working again?

You need the GBSYSTEM directory, and it has to contain certain files.

I recommend downloading and unpacking the 'minimal' gbsystem files linked in the wiki for speeding up the boot time. And then reinstalling the rockbox bootloader.

You say you formatted it, and that is some cause for concern - it needs to be fat32 or nothing will work. So, I've gotta ask, what tool did you use to format it?

(I ask because i once bought a broken F40 that would have been working just fine if the previous owner hadn't reformatted it NTFS)

Plerg:
Thanks for the reply.

I've tried restoring the original firmware, and I've downloaded the minimal version from the wiki, but both give the "00000010" error. I just found it strange that the same error is given both with and without any firmware on the player.

I've formatted it using both the Toshiba tool, and FAT32format.

Rockbox isn't loading it all. When I turn it on, it goes from the Gigabeat loading screen to the error. I also get the error for a second when I plug the Gigabeat into my computer, before it changes to the Gigabeat USB icon.

GodEater:
So what is the contents of your GBSYSTEM folder at the moment ?

Plerg:
It currently has the GBSYSTEM folder from the wiki ( http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatFXPort#Improved_Boot_Time_Optional ) with FWIMG01.DAT from the bootloader (http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/ )
