Sansa E280 v1 not being recognized

(1/4) > >>

deucesup22:
after a momentary recognition.  So I can't uninstall, can't format, cant add or delete.  Database update hangs @ 25.  I can access sd card files separately when plugged into different port.  This seems to be a recurrent problem as I've read it before but no responses. I should add that when the player is plugged in it shows E and F as a drive but you can't access it.  Even if the card isn't there it still registers F:.

 If I try to uninstall, it tells me that it can't detect a mountpoint.  I appreciate any help.  Thx.

Have you tried this:
Start with E280 off
Hold down <
Press Power

It should boot into the Sansa firmware. You should then be able to connect it to the PC and use Rockbox Utility to uninstall the bootloader and Rockbox.

Most definitely.  That's how I get it to recognize it momentarily.  It will then do an auto install of the rockbox drivers leaving me with being disconnected again.  Should I uninstall the RB program from the host so that it doesn't reinstall it?

That boots into the Sandisk firmware.  No rockbox at all.

?  Rockbox is a firmware for mp3 players.  Nothing is running on your PC.

Then how do I keep it in the sansa fromat?  Why is it forcing a new driver and utilizing rockbox instead of what would be the default, ie Sansa.
