scandisk?
Mad Cow:
A reformat will do more, It'll fix any file system errors. Sometimes the most random and pointless-seeming thing will be what fixes everything.

Agreed, but he seems reluctant to take that step. Just trying to give him a less heavy weight alternative to try first.

It stands to reason that if I can run an older version (1/21) of Rockbox on my GB, than there are no errors on the HDD (let alone system files since they are erased with a reformat)
A reformat simply erases everything from the hard drive. It does not change any files whatsoever. There are no system files other than the FWIMG files and the Rockbox system files, and these are replaced every time with new ones.
The problem lay in there somewhere.
Either I'm missing some important build or some other update since 1/21 that's keeping any new builds from working.
I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but I've seen too many people settle for a reformat when the problem can be solved much more simply. (i.e. missing files, replacing corrupt files, etc)
Since I'm copying over brand-new build, and using my original System Files (FWIMG), then there problem is in there. Perhaps someone can send me their FWIMG directory that does work with the current build....
If I reformat and load back on the files I have been putting on it, logically it stands to reason that it will crop up with the same problem as before. (since nothing has really changed..)
Please let me know if any of you have the FWIMG for me...
Llorean:
The thing is, you're making a flawed assumption.
The contents of the FWIMG directory aren't actually used by Rockbox. My FWIMG contains dummy files that aren't original Gigabeat system files at all (they're reduced size files so that the loading goes buy quicker at the start, since the original firmware loads them off the disk, expecting to need them but doesn't end up using them since Rockbox runs instead).
If you want to use the FWIMG folder from the GigabeatFXPort wiki page, you can try that. They're the dummy files I'm using.
If one version of Rockbox runs on your device, then any version should, unless you need an updated bootloader for a newer version. Since the bootloader is a single file, the rest of the FWIMG folder is irrelevant to Rockbox. It only matters to that original Toshiba screen that looks for it. If you get past that screen, you're fine.
