1) Do a hard reset: Slide the Hold switch on then off.  Then hold Menu + Select until the screen blanks.
2) Immediately do one of the following:
  a) Hold Select + Play to start Apple's in-flash Disk Mode.
  b) Slide the Hold switch on until Apple's firmware starts.
3) Connect the player via USB and follow the uninstall directions.

Let us know if you still have a problem.

(note: If you follow 1 -> 2a -> 3 you bypass any Rockbox related code.  This should always work, regardless of errors in installation.)

Have you tried turning off HID support? It's known that HID support can cause problems on Mac OS X, so this might also make a difference here (though I have no issues with my Mini on Windows 7)
