Rockbox vs. iriver firmware

Option 1: it goes direct to charging under the iriver firmware. Big battery logo splash with the charging word below and the blue bars.

final result: cant load into iriver firmware
Llorean.
Switched from the halfway build (drippy) to one of the Kosh-PaulHue 2.7 build. After that went to Kosh-PaulHue build 2.8.
final result: Rockbox build load fine and cant load into iriver firmware

because it sounds like a bootloader problem and not a rockbox problem, the build you're using probably doesn't matter... i think.

I just want to point out that if the problem is a bad hard drive, he is much better off having the Rockbox bootloader than the iriver bootloader.

Try pressing ON/PLAY when it is in this state. What happens?

Febs:
nothing special happens. I did the following:
Press ON / PLAY : nothing. just keep on Charging
Hold ON / PLAY: nothing. just keep on charging
Remember that before asking for any advice & help, I reset the player, ran a scandisk on it (W2K & XP) that found nothing, renamed and removed folders and files, formatted twice and still same problem.
I tried installing older versions of RB from MAY. But, same problem. I think is the bootloader that is borked.
I hope this thing doesnt brick. Any other advice boys beyond keeping RB just for playing music ?
(I bought this 'cause it "could" play videos)
Ricardo Dawkins:
Ok. Looking on the H320 drive with command line under WinXP found the following folders
Recycled
System Volume Information
The 2nd folder have information regarding Rockbox, please check the following images
Command line box...Notice the two hidden folders Recycled and System Volume Information
Notice the files inside one of the sub-folders into "System Volume Information". On the notepad windows you can see the information inside a few of those files
My question is: should I delete these folders since anyone here no more advice for me ?
Regards.
BTW, notice how the iriver firmware is recreating the RECORD folder with its subfolders every time I delete it.
