Have you tried reading the installation instructions in the manual?  If not, do so, if you have at which step are you stuck?  You need to give us a few details, we aren't psychic!

Yes, we are happy to help if you answer a few significant questions:

1. What sansa are you installing on? (e.g. e200R, e200, e270, etc.)
2. Is there a certain part you are having trouble with?
3. Have you visited http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200Port#Install for instructions? (vanilla e200 are in the manual, e200R are separate)

We are happy to help as long as you provide a few more details to clue us in.

also i have sansa e250 v2


Had you read the guidelines, you would have known to do a search.  This search would have told you that the v2 is not currently supported.

Hopefully someday; however, the hardware is completely different inside, so it could be a while. And, please don't ask when a port will come out. Release dates are never given. You can go check out the e200v2 thread under the New Ports forum to check on progress and offer your help.

can u tell me where to buy v1

You can try Best Buy (the packaging will say "Supports Audible audio file formats" on it), that's where I got my Sansa e280R. I believe Circuit City has v1's as well. The Sansa e200v2 is fairly new, so if you check the packaging as I said before, you should be able to tell v1's from v2's and buy the right one.

Yes, there are many on eBay for a reasonable price. Note, however, that some of these need parts and/or fixing with e200tool, etc.

EDIT: If you do buy a "bricked" one, I would more than happy to help you try to unbrick it. Just email me (see http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AlexZajac).
