Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
So you have two separate partitions, rather than one >128GB partition/"disk"?
I've given some context that is hopefully useful in the previous messages I quoted.Another thing that you can do - without needing to reflash the bootloader - is just to delete or erase the partition that holds the OFW. This should be a simple way to prevent it from booting.
Going back to an old thread where I was wondering about this issue, I never got round to trying rockbox_dev123's suggestion (for preventing it booting in OF) - maybe it would work for you here? Just entirely self-interestedly suggesting it because I'd be interested to know if it works.https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,54703.msg252999.html#msg252999Quote from: rockbox_dev123 on November 25, 2023, 02:57:12 PMI've given some context that is hopefully useful in the previous messages I quoted.Another thing that you can do - without needing to reflash the bootloader - is just to delete or erase the partition that holds the OFW.

Interesting. Very Useful to know that it works like that. Curious why RB itself seems to treat the second partition as if it were a folder within the first one. Can a developer say if that's the intended behaviour or if it sort of works by accident?
I'm guessing that they just display it that way because it was probably a lot easier and faster to implement than having to redesign the file browser UI for a truer visual representation of the hierarchy of two sibling volumes above each one's descendent directories and files. The functional user access is basically the same either way.
Has anyone restored an iPod 7th with a capacity of more than 127G and then connected that drive to a 6th gen to see if it can run higher firmware versions than iTunes will allow it to?
