Rockbox won't install to Sansa Clip Zip

[Lelnart]

Dear Rockbox,

I'm having troubles installing Rockbox on my Sansa Clip Zip (V01.01.20F). As you recommended, I downloaded RockboxUtility on my Mac computer. When I connected my Sansa Clip Zip to my laptop and tried autodetecting the player with RockboxUtility, the program said it could not detect a Mountpoint. I continued by picking the Clip Zip in the audio player menu. Then I tried installing Rockbox and the bootloader (with clpza.bin). Everything seems to go 'successfully': even at the end of the 'progress' it says: 'Package installation finished successfully'. When trying to eject my Clip Zip with Rockbox, it fails. As recommended, I eject the audioplayer with my computer eject functionality.

But when I switch on my Clip Zip and my media is refreshed, everything seems to be the same. For a moment I thought the Rockbox-installment might not bring any visual changes to my Sansa-interface, but when I tried switching themes, I keep getting the same Sansa-interface. What's worse is that I still have the same EQ and volume limitation. I tried uninstalling and installing it a couple of times (even tried putting the clpza.bin on my Clip Zip and extract it from there), but I can't seem to get Rockbox on my Sansa Clip Zip. I don't know if it would make a difference, but I've already put some music on the player.

What should I do to get Rockbox to work?

Searched a bit more on the forum and discovered that I posted this topic in the wrong thread, sorry for that. Still haven't found the solution though. Not being able to autodetecting the Zip seems to be a common problem, but my USB Mode is already set to MSC.

99.9% of threads with this problem its due to the user not selecting the right drive letter for their player.  If you install rockbox to your windows disk it won't work.

I don't have a Windows-computer so I thought that didn't apply for me. But after reading your comment, I discovered that I selected the wrong device in the filesystem. After setting it to my Sansa Clip, it worked! Thanks for the help, you guys are awesome.
