Format Sandisk Clip+?

(1/2) > >>

Klappis:
Is there a setting in Rockbox to format the Clip? What happens if i format the whole player? Will the settings and folder reappear again?

No, although I think the sandisk firmware has one.

You'd remove the .rockbox folder but not the bootloader.  So you could still boot the sandisk firmware, but trying to boot rockbox would fail until you put a new .rockbox folder on the device.

Thanks very much for the answers! Sandisk firmware where is that located? By the way using autodetect on my clip makes the Rockbox Utility program crash.

saratoga:
Sandisk firmware is located in memory that is not exposed over USB. 

Crash on autodetect is fixed in the next release of rockbox utility.
