Problems with Sansa Clip+

[Androecian]

My setup:
OS = Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU = AMD K10, RAM = 4GB, for what that's worth

Without Rockbox installed in my Clip+, it appeared in Windows Explorer as a removable drive named "SANSA_CLIPP", essentially being treated as a USB drive, I think.

With Rockbox installed, Explorer is treating it as as a peripheral, a "Portable Device", instead of a removable drive - is that normal? How do I configure Explorer to recognize it as a drive instead of a peripheral?

I guess the bottom line is that adding Rockbox to my player has completely changed the way my OS interacts with it - changed to a way I'm not familiar with, and one that I'd like to reverse. But when I open RockboxUtility.exe in order to attempt to uninstall Rockbox, it looks for my Clip+ as a removable drive, which Explorer is suddenly saying it "isn't", anymore, because "it's a peripheral listed under Devices And Printers."

WTF, Win7? WTF, Rockbox? I just want my player back how it used to be - I'm hoping for a non-brickifying format, and then a clean reinstall of the original Clip+ firmware, and that's all - but I'm regretting that Rockbox hasn't worked out for me as well as I think it should have, because if I were more tech-savvy no doubt I would have figured this out by now.

You have the Sandisk firmware in MTP mode.  It sounds like you were using MSC before you installed rockbox.  You can change it back in the settings menu.
