e270 WIPEOUT

Turia Madi:
I need to know how to delete flapping everything from my Sansa Sandisk e270 v1 and then install the rockbox firmware.

Tried to install rockbox, and when i start my device, it shows "Scanning disk..." and won't change.  

my original firmware was burnt as hell, and did a lot of random erroneous stuff when i tried to use it . . .thought installing rockbox would bypass or eliminate whatever corrupted shite was on there, but now i can't even view it on the compy; when i try to uninstall rockbox from the device, it tells me the mountpoint does not exist, and when i try autodetect, the program crashes.  

Please help!  Thank you.

Your sansa should be working properly prior to installation.  Try formatting the device from within Sansa's firmware.  It sounds like you might have file system corruption.  After that, I expect that installing Rockbox should work.

how do i format the device from within Sansa's firmware; especially since it doesn't appear as a drive when i plug it in?

Chronon:
Does the SanDisk firmware boot?  There should be an item under its System menu, if I recall correctly.

It doesn't seem to.  Like I said in the op, it shows a rockbox screen that says "Scanning disk...", and plugging it into the computer has no effect. 

I'm also pretty sure it freezes at this point, because I have to "reset all" by holding the power button down in order to shut it off.
