1) Please follow our rules concerning using real words rather than "u" and "2".
2) Please post the exact error message you're getting.
3) What menu? The Rockbox bootloader does not use a menu. If you're using Loader2 you should be asking for help in their forums.

I suggest following the instructions in the Rockbox Manual.  The ones in the link you provided are very much out of date.

Try the new method of installation. http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationBeta

But first, put the bootpartition.bin you have (112MB approximate) back to your iPod. or maybe you'll have to do a Restore before installing now. I'm not shure.

If you have no problem erasing all data of your iPod, so do a Restore and then try the new correct installation.

But if you want to keep the data on your iPod, you'll have to do the unninstalling process.


       ipodpatcher N -w bootpartition.bin (new ipodpatcher)

       ipodpatcher -w N bootpartition.bin (old ipodpatcher)

Download the ipodpatcher and try, but you may have the bootpartition.bin and ipodpatcher.exe in the same folder on you PC.

It's very easy, but my english is not enough to explain, so read the instructions and try.

Good lucky.
