Problems updating Fuze V1
fatwarry:
Yes, I can reproduce it. I don't know where to get the "Help / Troubleshooting / System Trace dialog" from; please advise how I do this. In the meantime here's the log file in case it helps
Post Merge: August 04, 2011, 06:35:15 AMOK, I found the trace. It's attached
bluebrother:
This is interesting: the trace shows enough disk space but after some file the free disk space is down to 0 bytes. Since the shown free space is more than enough to install Rockbox I assume you have problems with the filesystem. Please run chkdsk /f H: from a cmd window.
fatwarry:
Well, chkdsk seemed to work OK though I'm not sure about the final line. Please see attached screenshot and let me know if it sheds any light on my problem.
Thanks
bluebrother:
You have filesystem errors -- there are that are allocated (thus unusable) but not referenced anywhere (from the FAT). That means the free space according to calculationg the file differs from the free space that is actually available. You should let chkdsk fix those errors -- after converting the lost chains to files you can inspect them and delete them if you don't need them anymore, which basically frees up the space your player is currently missing.
fatwarry:
OK, I ran chkdsk again and let it convert lost chains - see attached screenshot - but how do I know which files to delete? As far as I can see the only files that contain data are in my .backup and .rockbox folders and they come to less than 100MB between them. Does that mean chkdsk has done the job and I can try to install 3.9?
Thanks
Sorry, forgot the attachment initially

If I run chkdsk with the /f parameter it finds no errors. However, the utility still fails at the extraction step just as before.
If I run chkdsk with the /r parameter it fails with the message "an unexpected error occurred". So, I assume I have some bad sectors on my Fuze that results in it not having enough useable space to do an update.
I have some more thoughts/questions...............
- Is it worth uninstalling Rockbox via the utility and trying a complete new install? I'm assuming that as there's enough useable space for the current install uninstalling might give me enough space for a clean install to work.
- Can I manually install 3.9 over the top of whatever is running at the moment (the splash screen on startup says 3.9; the utuility says 3.6)? If so can I use my PC's hard drive for the unpacking and simply drag the appropriate file to the .rockbox folder on the Fuze to effect an upgrade?
- Should I manually uninstall and reinstall?
- Should I uninstall Rockbox and revert to the OF?
- Should I do nothing? It seems to work at the moment and all my music is on a separate card that is working fine
Any thought or suggestions would be gratefully received
