Third Party > Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players

Safe to format entire Sandisk player ? RB needs original OS ?

Too late !!  got RB installed on the Zipclip with the Utility and got .bin bootloader off your site.
Installation went Ok  but in Windows I dont see any Music folder nor on the player.
I dropped a single .mp3 file into the player ? root ? just as a trial,
but its not showing up anywhere in the player. Nothing in Files.
Thanks !

johnb:
Can you boot into Rockbox?

islandchris:
Yes I can boot into RB Ok. Looks good, theme installed etc.
Just not showing any Audio/Podcast/Music folders. FM works.
Please explain how to format other than using Windows Explorer so
maybe I could do that and try again with dual boot install with Sansa OS first
and then RB .

Note- I have posted this in the wrong section. It should probably be in
Utility or Installation.

Note 2 - these Sansa player are having a small, well deserved revival.
They are wonderful little pieces of machinery. Well, some. Some like
Clip Jam are junk they produced in the dying days of mp3 players.

johnb:
If all of that works, the player should be fine.

Did you define a starting directory for browsing before (thus your 'browsing scope' might be restricted)?
Try to reset RB, by renaming or moving the .rockbox/config.cfg file and shut down and start again.

No, got no idea how to do that.

 renaming or moving the .rockbox/config.cfg file

What could I safely rename it to ?
Move it where ?

Thanks John
