uninstall the bootloader.

To get the PC to recegnize the iPod, put it in "Disk Mode":

Restart the player (menu+select) and then hold (menu+play) until it enters disk mode.

Now it should work...

PS: Why uninstall Rockbox? it's WAYYYYY better than the OFW!!!

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Of course you can sync it with iTunes with Rockbox on....just boot it into the original firmware, plug it in and make your changes in iTunes.

Compatability with the iTunes Database is one of the AWESOME things about Rockbox.

No need to uninstall Rockbox.

To use the Dual Boot function, boot the iPod with the Hold Switch ON and it will boot into the OFW
