iPod cannot boot!

Hey guys,

I recently went through trying to install rockbox into my 5.5G and for some reason, all I did was place an unzipped folder (the extracted rockbox folder) into my ipod's drive and now, it won't boot... I keep getting a black screen with some rockbox text about error -1 and after that it jus reboots and appears with that error again... When I plug it into my PC it won't work... It just continues to try and boot itself again... What should I do? I can't even get iTunes to restore it... nor will it even detect...

I get 'rockbox error: -1'

It keeps trying to 'load original firmware' but all what happens is that it reboots again... Is there a fix for this?

Please help, thank you.

A) You need to place both the .rockbox folder, and the rockbox.ipod file in the root of your player.
B) If you are getting Error -1 you are not using the current bootloader, where did you get yours?

C) See the sticky at the top of this forum for how to get into Disk Mode so you can finish the install properly.

I'm not 100% understanding the root of my iPod. Can you clarify that for me?

soap:
Root directory is your "bottom" directory.
C:\       is the root of C:
C:\Music\       would be one folder up from the root.
etc.
