« on: November 27, 2009, 09:44:52 PM »
ok so ive been following the directions from here http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaE200RInstallation
and i got up to #5 part 2 where it says:"Under Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click USB Mass Storage Device (or something similar) and select Update Driver." i got to do that but it said that the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currenty have installed.i clicked finish anyway but then when i went to the e200r patcher
i got
[ERR] Error writing data length
[ERR] Bulk write error (-116, Unknown error)
[ERR] Upload of application failed.
[INFO] Press ENTER to exit.

... select Update Driver." i got to do that but it said that the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currenty have installed.

When the Update Driver Wizard starts, do not choose the option to "Search automatically".  Instead, choose the option to "Browse my computer" (or similar).  You will then be able to browse to the e200-manufac-driver you downloaded.

Again, do not let the wizard "search".  Windows thinks that it already has a better driver, so it will not use the driver you selected.

These steps are from Windows 7 and may not be exactly what you see, but should be close if you have Vista:

1. Update Driver Software...
2. Browse my computer for driver software
3. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
4. Click the "Have Disk..." button
5. Browse to the location of the downloaded driver

In rbutil?  You can't use that on an e200r AFAIK.  I think you have to do it the way the instructions tell you to.
