sansa e250: Frozen after install 'Scanning disk'.....

[FollowTheWhiteRabbit]

Hello!

I just installed rockbox using the following instructions:http://www.ehow.com/how_2101421_load-rockbox-onto-sansa.html on my sansa e250 mp3 player.

I chose the version '1' e200 build (not the version 2).

When I took my USB cable out it rebooted as expected, then came up with
'Scanning disk' message. I searched some forums and apparently this is normal for a few minutes. Mine is still like that 8 hours later.

I've tried taking the batteries out and resetting, same msg.

I've tried replugging it into USB port, it doesn't recognise the player and same msg remains.

I've tried resetting it by holding power for 15 seconds and then holding the record button. A message comes up about bootloader for a split second then same message returns.

Would appreciate any help!

Hello.
I had the same problem with the new version (3. on my e200 v1.
I removed the .rockbox completly then tried the last build without success. I had a black screen or a repeated yellow pattern just after the "Scanning disk" message.
So I installed manually the previous release (3.7.1) over and it works fine now...
