What do you mean "ruined"?

Lizardking1:
Most of the times it freezes as soon as it's plugged into the computer, on rare occasions it doesn't freeze, but it displays an error message that flashes 3 or 4 times before simply going off and not turning on again (have to hard reset). And on very rare occasions it gets connected, doesn't crash, doesn't freeze, but it's recognized as an empty USB drive (both the Clip Zip and the microSDHC). This happens on multipled USB ports on 2 computers, one running Windows 7 64 bit the other XP 32 bit.
I really regret installing Rockbox at this moment, because the Roxkbox utility won't even recognize the device, so I can't uninstall it.
EDIT: when I say hard reset I mean pressing the power button for 10 seconds.
Post Merge: November 19, 2012, 05:45:06 PMRight now it gets recognized, I open the drives and they both have their files, but if I run a media player like Mediamonkey it won't recognize any of the music in there, even though I used Mediamonkey to get my files in there. It also tells me I need to format the microSDHC drive, but I can access all the files in it.
I'm going to download the Rockbox utility and just remove Rockbox if I can.

Uninstalling rockbox does not involve connecting your player to USB while inside of rockbox.  If you want to go back to the sandisk firmware, you should check out the uninstall directions in the manual.

The Rockbox utility said it had finished uninstalling. Now I turn my player on and it says 'Firmware not found'. Great.
The rockbox utility had a button saying uninstall, how can it be that that is not the correct way to uninstall? If it shouldn't be done by the RU then why is the option available on RU? I'm going to try and get a refund on this player, but I'll probably have to end up buying a new one.

I'm guessing you uninstalled rockbox but not the bootloader.  If you go back and uninstall the bootloader from the Sandisk firmware it'll go back to normal.  Alternatively, the manual uninstall is actually easier, so you could just do that.

You should uninstall rockbox first, or they're going to know you modded your player and can refuse to take it back.
