ipod does not mount

(1/3) > >>

elonin:
I have an ipod classic 160gb and after installing rockbox it doesn't mount.  it is recognized as a new usb (plays the connected sound), but does not have a drive letter.  Matter of fact after a reboot it did pick up in itunes and was able to restore it to itunes firmware.  At which point it remounts.  Any help would be appreciated

Frankenpod:
Is this on windows or a mac (or linux)?

Does it mount if you boot it with original firmware? (I mean, if it does, then just use that for file transfer - not sure why you'd need to mount it in RB mode specifically).

(Not that I have much idea what the problem is, but I'm assuming anyone who _could_ help you would probably need to know those things, especially which OS you are mounting it with).

elonin:
I'm running windows 11.

Yes, it did mount recognized by itunes and generated a drive letter with itunes, though i have had issues with that in the past (bad cable or ipod just not behaving). 

I don't think my ipod is set for dual boot.  When i use menu + select it reboots the rockbox but doesn't put it into a disk mode.

The reason i've wanted to change over to rockbox is playing different formats.  Am I barking up the wrong tree?

saratoga:
If you reboot from rockbox into the apple firmware does the disk mount in windows?

elonin:
Not sure i understand the question.  Do you mean restoring it to the itunes?  If that is the case it should then mount to windows.  I haven't seen a way to boot to apple with the rockbox software still on it.  if it is off pushing select launches rockbox.  From there if i select and menu (up) it reloads just rockbox.
