please make sure I understand...as I have tried to load rockbox on my f40 5 times with no luck..yes I have followed the instructions to a tee! The only thing I am confussed about is:

Am I suppose so shut it down turn off the battery switch twice?Once after I download the zipfile and unzip it to the root directory , and get the bootloader downloaded and  installed?

Thats one shut down....if I am suppose to shut down twice when do I do the second one?  

Maybe I am just not going to get it installed, but thought I would try one more time...it sounds like a very cool program......

No - there is no requirement for a second "battery off" shutdown. You only do it after you've install both rockbox (by unzipping rockbox.zip) and installing the bootloader. That's why only one restart is mentioned in the install process.

How has your install failed previously ?

Post some screen shots of the file/folder layout on your Gigabeat - and pay particular attention to the GBSYSTEM\FWIMG folders.

If you're in windows, open a command prompt (start->run, type cmd.exe and hit enter).

Then, type the drive letter of your player (like D: or E:) and hit enter. Then type "dir /a /s > list.txt" without the quotes. Wait for that to finish and then close the window. Go to explorer and find your player, it should have a file called list.txt on it. This will show ALL the files and folders on your drive. If there's anything you don't want seen, feel free to remove it, but don't change anything beyond any necessary removals.

Then attach it to a post here.

I'm going to tell you how I installed roxbox ...5 different times and could not get any of them to work...maybe you will see something I am missing...

1. I downloaded the zip file "the current Build" I then extracted it over my f40 gigabeat..I confermed that I had a file in there labeled  .rockbox

2. I downloaded the fonts and unziped them over my gigabeat (DriveE)

3. I went into the Gigabeat folder opened the FWIMG folder and saved and then renamed the FWIMGo1.dat file to FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG

4. I then downloaded the bootloader for my gigabeat and I moved it to the FWIMg folder.....

I pulled out the power supply for my gigabeat, disscontected the usb cable powered it down shut off the battery switch . I waited probally a minute turned the battery switch back on powered it up, and got the error messege. This happened to me 5 different times..I am probally doing something obvious butI sure don't know what...

Thanks for your help.

ok, I guess no help here....rockbox looks like a very cool system that is why I keep trying to get it.  If someone would be patient and give me some ideas I would be gratefull! I will be the first to admit I am not the greatest with the p, but I think I know enough to get this done with a little help.

Thanks

1)  Please do not double, let alone triple, post.  This is in the posting guidelines.

2)  You have waited all of 26 minutes.  Please have some patience.

3)  What error message?  Things like that are quite important.

4)  You should have a .rockbox folder not file in the root of your player.

5)  Try rockbox utility as Llorean suggested.
