System Error 00000010 on Gigabeat F60

<< < (3/6) > >>

Plerg:
Yeah, it works fine as a storage device.

ej0rge:
So, lets be clear.

The drive must be partitioned into 1 (one) and only 1 partition - which should be a fat32 partition. If you somehow formatted the whole drive w/o a partition (which is valid for usb sticks, ipods, etc, but not the gigabeat) that would be a problem. and it should contain the GBSYSTEM folder + the rockbox bootloader at a minimum.

I believe that the restore feature on the cd will probably load the gbsystem folder without checking that the requirements above have been satisfied.

Here's what i think you should do. Assuming your music is already backed up, etc, and there is nothing of value on the gigabeat drive.

Follow these instructions for using fat32format:

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/fat32format.htm

run diskmgmt.msc and delete the partition on the gigabeat drive.

Then create a new partition.

Then format it the way the fat32format instructions say to.

Then unzip this file to the root of that partition:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/GigabeatFXPort/GBSYSTEM.zip

Check it and make sure that you don't have a gbsystem folder with another gbsystem folder inside it.

Then take this firmware file:

http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/FWIMG01.DAT

and put it in the FWIMG folder which is inside the gbsystem folder.

This should probably work. Depending on the version of flash bootloader you have, I guess it's possible that you might need genuine gbsystem files. In which case, send me a PM - I've got a couple versions. If you were at 3.00 before you rockboxed, it really should work because it works for me.

Plerg:
Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it.

I've tried what you posted, using both the GBSYSTEM you linked, and the ones from the Gigabeat CD, but I'm still getting the 00000010 error.

I was using the version 3 Gigabeat firmware before Rockbox. It was the Japanese update trick if that makes a difference.

ej0rge:
I don't know what the japanese update trick is.

I'm running out of ideas because i've never been unable to solve the problem you have on the 7 or 8 F's I've fixed. Aside from the one time when the drive was totally dead, but then it didn't work at all as a usb drive either.

The only thing i typically do different in these situations is that i usually wipe the mbr and partition table on the drive before i start.

To do that, I plug it into a linux box, identify which sd device it is, and then run "sudo dd bs=1k count=10 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdN" where N is whichever device the gigabeat got when i plugged it in.

This completely removes the boot record and partition table from the drive and IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS because if you accidentally point it at the wrong drive, IT WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA.

Plerg:
When the new Gigabeat firmware was released, it was originally only available for Japanese players, so you had to replace a file on the player (FWIMG01.DAT possibly) with a Japanese version of the same file, to make the update program think you have a Japanese player.

I'll try wiping the now and see if that works. I'll use a live CD so I can unplug all my other drives.

Update:

I've tried it and it's still giving the same error. I'm starting to lose hope for it.

Is there some kind of bootloader or BIOS or something on the player I could try rewriting to?
