Will can I do a partition ofmy hardrive and run the original firmware on the first one and rockbox on the second one? I know it's very technical ;)

Some rockbox targets support dual booting. I think you'll have to ask the developers if they're planning on supporting it for the Gigabeat.
jbird80:
little off topic but I'm not sure where this should go
Has anyone actualy put the Rockbox on a gigabeat?
I'm assuming that the SAT file format is not going to be in Roxbox?
I'm also assuming that you will be able to drag and drop you music files to the gigabeat?
I'm a linux user and the current Toshibas firmware is starting to piss me off!!!
Soader03:
Yeah me too, I have more than 1000 songs in MP3.SAT ... But I don't care if I have to resynchronize my songs
But rockbox for the gigabeat is not ready
Soader03:
So, now, we have sound in the F series, MPEG player and some games.... I downloaded the fonts, the zip with all in it and now, I just need the bootloader for installation... So, where to find it?
**EDIT** Ok, I found it, and it works fine!!!

As of right now, rockbox on the gigabeat is functioning as a temporary fork from the main gigabeat code base. Not all of the people working on the gigabeat port had write access to the main rockbox cvs (i believe attempts to get said permissions are in progress). Since sound is working, I believe the next step may be to remerge the gigabeat specific code with the main rockbox code base.
Sound on the Gigabeat F and X Series players has been functioning only for a little over 24 hours as of this post. There is still a relatively long list of known port specific bugs, eg Database (formerly TagCache), no support for the LED Buttons on the F Series, and limited support for the cradle where applicable. But, we do have sound, and it does run. Links to what may be best defined as the first gigabeat port alpha release of rockbox may be found in the gigabeat irc log.
