Rockbox on Clip+ "*PANIC* disk_init failed!" [Solved]
Sonic Atrocity:
Hey guys, I have followed the instructions so far but I am stuck at the part where I am to use the command prompt. I have created the "rbinstall" and downloaded the three necessary items to go into it (including the bootloader in this thread). After that I am a bit stuck. I am trying to learn some command prompt stuff online but am experiencing some trouble.
Would someone please provide me with some more detailed instructions on how to perform this procedure? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Where have you got stuck in the instructions?
[Saint]:
Ok, starting from the beginning...
1 - Download the latest firmware for your device here
2 - Download the latest bootloader for your device here
3 - Download mkamsboot here
4 - Create a directory on your desktop, for the sake of keeping things in sync with the manual lets call it "rbinstall", though you can name it anything you like.
5 - Place the archive and the two files you have downloaded in this directory, you should now have: "clipplus01.02.15.zip"*, "bootloader-clipplus.sansa" and "mkamsboot.exe" in this directory.
6 - Open the directory "rbinstall" and extract the archive "clipplus01.02.15.zip" in place, the goal is to extract the contents of this archive inside the directory, not outside of it.
7 - After extracting the "clipplus01.02.15.zip" archive, verify that you now have a file named "clppa.bin" in the directory.
8 - Open the command prompt (WinKey+R, then type "cmd" without the quotation marks in the window that appears and press enter).
You should now see something that looks like:
--- Code: ---Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User_Name>
--- End code ---
9 - Now type "cd Desktop/rbinstall" without the quotation marks and press Enter.
10 - Now type, again without the quotation marks, "mkamsboot.exe clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin" and press Enter.
11 - You should now have the file "patched.bin" inside the "rbinstall" directory, copy this to the root of your Clip+'s disk.
12 - Rename the file you just copied to your device "clppa.bin" so that the device knows this is a firmware file and performs the installation like we want it to.
13 - Safely Remove the device.
14 - Unplug USB and then wait for the installation to finish, it will start and end automatically after you unplug USB.
15 - Enjoy Rockbox. ;)
*Current firmware file as of this writing, subject to change in future.

I most certainly appreciate your very detailed instructions. Although, I have made some errors and am running into some problems. When I used the three links you provided I still, in the end, received the "PANIC! disk init failed!". However, when I decided to load the alternative firmware (provided by Saratoga earlier in this thread) and also used the bootloader (also provided by Saratoga) everything went swell - with the exception of one detail.
I start up my player and I get that awesome looking "Rockbox" logo but written above it is "Loading Firmware file not found".
I have no idea what I have done wrong. I don't mean to be a nuisance or seem incompetent. I am doing my best to figure it out and I am trying to become more computer savy. I most certainly appreciate your help. I am frustrated a bit but am learning - that's for sure! :)

Usually this means that you either didn't extract a rockbox build to your player, or that the file system is so corrupted it can't be loaded. Did you download a build of rockbox and put it in the root of your player?
