sansa c200 force boot into rockbox?

<< < (2/2)

liquid boy:
sorry, i wasn't very clear
yes i have installed both rockbox 3.5.1 and the newest bootloader from the utility. same results

i would attempt to do it again, to double check, but when i start up the utility now, i get this error:
Your configuration is invalid. This is most likely due to a changed device path. The configuration dialog will now open to allow you to correct the problem. (i confirm that the player is mounted, and i can access the device in read only)

i am using the linux version (crunchbang, based on ubuntu 9.04)

it has loaded the player as read only (even as root), not sure what i've done.

AlexP:
You need to sort that out first, as clearly nothing can be installed without write access.  Linux usually refuses to mount read write when there are errors on the disk, so try running fsck.vfat on it.

liquid boy:
ok i got it sorted.

don't know what was wrong with it (i bought it with RB already installed)

formatted the drive, reinstalled origional firmware, made sure it was in msc mode, started rbutil and installed as root, and it seemed to work, and now when i plug it in, it starts straight into rockbox.

it seems i have one of those weird ones that are actually a V1 machine, with 2 written on the hardware. strange. oh well

thanks for your help
