You need to change directories to where you've saved ipodpatcher.exe. It tells you that you need to change directories in the instructions. You use the CD command for this.

ok I know this is just begging now but cd what? the last time I had to use command lines was DOS to run "Doom" and that was quite a few years ago, I named the the folder RockBox in my C: directory but when I tried to switch using the little memory or my DOS days its saying the directory is incorrect.

You could try doing a little research, say a command line tutorial.

cd .. goes up a level, cd foldername goes into that folder. That should be more than enough information even without a tutorial.

Code: [Select]
cd \rockbox
ipodpatcher --scan
ipodpatcher N bootloader-ipod?????.ipod

Replacing N in the last line with the number displayed at the end of the last line of the ipodpatcher --scan output, and replacing ????? with the type of ipod you have - so the filename matches the bootloader you downloaded.
