Can't Install

Ok, when i go into command prompt, and type all of the stuff (ipodpatcher 0, 1, 2) It never finds it.....on my PC when i click Properties on my iPod properties, it sais "Location: Location 0" and when i type that in it sais "This drive is not an iPod, aborting" And when i do the ipodpatcher 0, 1, 2, etc thing it never finds it. I have one hard drive, two DVD drives, and 8 USB ports....do they all count as drive locations, if so i'll try upto 12, but i dont think it'll be succesful. And the program is in the right places so thats not a problem...it just doesnt find my iPod. Help!?
BTW: I have a normal iPod Video, it only has Apple OS

First, I think the ipod needs to be in disk mode. I'm not sure, but you might want to check that it is.
Second, the location isn't dependent upon how many USB ports you have, or internal drives, but you should go up at least a decent ways. What drive letter is your iPod out of curiosity?

It is in Disk mode, and the iPods Drive letter is F
Also, with Rockbox, can I still use the Apple OS too? Rockbox doesnt overwrite it does it? I read that I can just press menu to startup, let go, then hold it in again. Or is that not working for the 5G?

You can still use Apple OS yes, though I personally haven't found a reason to for a while now.

Ok, i got everything on the iPod, it went to blue screen booted to Apple OS, i put all the files onto the iPod root, and now im ready to start...now how exactly do i exit the Apple Os and get started in the Rockbox one?
Also, if i ever wanted to rid of Rockbox, can i just download Apples iPod updater and do a complete restore to get back to default OS, and no Rockbox?

Rockboy is built in. If you have gameboy roms on the player, you just click on them.
To change themes, hit menu, and then choose Browse Themes from the list.

Well, I've only used it on a B&W unit, but since it's based on a Colour Gameboy emulator, I believe it runs gameboy and gameboy colour roms (but NOT gameboy advance)

I don't think the A and B button actually *have* buttons assigned to them on iPod yet, but I'm not really sure. I've only used it on the iHP-120
