Gigabeat dock is not recognized by winxp
Mad Cow:
I think the dock is recognized as a sort of USB hub, because windows makes the "USB device connected" sound when I connect it sometimes. That could be a problem because windows might automatically install the wrong drivers for it.
misterpink:
I hate to make the obvious point, but sometimes it's the simplest thing - did you check the switch on the side? I've not had any problems at all since starting to use the dock.
scubacoles:
I can confirm too that the dock works for transferring files in Rockbox...

You are right, the dock has a 4 port USB hub inside.

Having used Rockbox quite successfully for the past 2 months now on my Gigabeat F10, I thought to myself, "Hey, let's see if the player will look pretty charging in that dock that it came with."
Big Mistake.
I docked the player while on, and hooked up the USB. Seemed ok thus far. I then attached the power cord, XP told me that it "found and installed the driver for the new device", and now my player is hooped!
It will start when Power On is held. Hooray for small miracles. However, it will not boot up, [SYSTEM ERROR 00000010 without the hard drive attached, and SYSTEM ERROR 00020090 with it attached]. What's worse, when I do the gigabeat surgery routine (which worked before when I was installing Rockbox), it won't recognize the hard drive when I plug it back onto the player. Not through Explorer, or My Computer (with refreshing), or anything. It said "E: is corrupt and not readable" in Explorer before, and the "Safely Remove Hardware" program seemed to see that it was a Toshiba hard drive, but now it doesn't even do that anymore.
I can hear that little hard drive spinning, though... Please, somebody help me save it!!
