Well, you need to choose two things:
1. the player itself
2. the mount point which describes where the player is accessible from the OS. On Windows this is the drive letter of the player, on linux the path where the player is mounted, hence the name. For the windows binary that naming could be improved.

Nevertheless, if your Ipod is in disc mode you should be able to auto-detect it by using the "Autodetect" button in the configuration dialog. You need to do this initially. Rockbox Utility currently doesn't warn about this (which is on the todo-list for getting improved).

Hi all,
I tried to install rockbox for my firt gen nano, so I can use the voice plugin, because i have a broken display and nothing shows on it. I guess i messed up the installation, cause i extracted files into Ipod_control file, not just into F:\ or whatever hard drive it is.

but with the bootloader it went all ok, i used also the voice file and after all the ipod turns on (the display shines) and nothing else happens, I can't read what's on the display, restarted it, nothing changed.

When I plug it back to the pc, nothing happens, ipod won't be recognized. display turns on, but but even with bootloader it says that ipod is not connected.

It there a way, how to get rockbox work, or at least unnistall it??

Thanks, SAMO

now the display started going on and off (lights up and stops) every 4 seconds when i plug it to the pc, but nothing else happens

NeilShapiro:
Well the auto0detect did work for me. But then  I got the message I need to convert my MaciPod format to WinIpod. Anyway, I've decided not to proceed with this installation. I just don't have the confidence level in the install software to want to see what the next problem might be. No offense and I'll keep checking and when it appears that you have an install that is internally well-documented and that is working at near-consumer level I'll try it again. Thanks.

Febs:
Be aware that Rockbox has no plans to support Mac's HFS+ file system, so regardless of whatever installation process is ultimately implemented, you will need to convert your iPod to a FAT32 filesystem (i.e., convert it from a MacPod to a WinPod) in order to install Rockbox.
