Trouble installing boot loader

<< < (2/3) > >>

quintell:
I've checked out the ipodlinux installer and it only support 2k and XP so that is nolonger anoption

Corius:
It will come up as a disk drive even if it isnt set to disk mode, my friends did and so did mine, because thats what windows detects it as, my friends pod wasnt set to disk mode, and ur error message sounds uncanny in its similarity. when he set his pod for disk mode in itunes he had no problems and anyways if im mistaken the apple os is the only one tht says do not disconnect and that the disk mode is just a greyscale/monochrome small crossed circle.
If you've never set ur pod to diskmode it wont be in disk mode, the disk mode isnt a default, im just saying this is what my mate did , and as soon as he changed the option in iTunes he was able to install rockbox

quintell:
I'm running windows 98 so installing iTunes is not an option.
I've tried forcing it in to disk mode (using the select and play button whilst rebooting. Which did give me the greyscale screen showing the circle with a cross through it, and stating do not dissconnect.
Still no luck.

Could i be using the wrong ipod driver. The driver i have is the windows 98 driver from the anapod website not the one from here http://www.98-drivers.com/ipod.html

Has anyone sucessfully installed rockbox in an ipod from a windows 98 machine?

quintell:
Just a follow up to this I visited a friendly local internet cafe running windows XP today and sure enough everything worked as it should, and I'm now running rock box.

I still would like to know if anyone has successfully installed rockbox from a windows 98 machine

Corius:
A internet cafe that allows people to use command prompt? wow, most cafes i have been have been networked and have disallowed command prompt because you can turn off peoples pc's using it (we did that a lot in college...., untill command prompt got disabled biatchs. just imagine the scene, some pompous kid mocks you and go's on about how great he is on the pc, then you shut down his pc from command prompt across the room,good memories)
ok i got off track then.

As for people using windows 98 to install rockbox, i dont even know anyone with windows 98 so i couldnt go and harass them to let me fiddle around with a rockbox installation.
It's cool that you managed to get rockbox in the end, and now you should be able to use normal explorer to get ur music on,
(windows 98 really isnt iTunes friendly? now thats plain stupid, naughty Apple)
