He said that he had formatted his hard drive. I wonder if he accidently changed from FAT?

Llorean is right though if you have those files in the correct spot there should be no problem.

If you format with windows, there is something missing on the hard drive so it can boot

I had this problem before and the only way was to reload an image from a working gigabeat.

You can try to reformat with the gigabeat format utility or perhaps make an update but I think it will still don't work

I can send you an image of a working gigabeat that you can load on it if you want

I think that the error is because the image I send you doens't correspond to the firmware in memory.
I think you should update your gigabeat with the original update from toshiba and after reinstall roockbox or perhaps replace the files in the gbsystem with the ones you have on you computer.

dear toffe,

could you please send me a copy of the original firmware files? i require the original gbsystem files since i accidentally formatted my toshiba's original firmware and i don't have copy of the files that would let me boot either rockbox or the original firmware.

my email address is : hsyed26@gmail.com

thanks,

hsyed26

You can download the firmware version 3 from toshiba :
http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-images/firmware/GBFVER03.zip
You should be able to extract the firmware from the files with 7zip, or just try to install it

already tried using firmware 3 update does not seem to work.  but the problem is i need to be able to load the gigabeat to get the update. maybe if I got a copy of a already updated gbsystem folder and replace the current one it might work?

Hello everyone.

I happen to have a Gigabeat F20 which had the same No System Found In HDD problem. It happened after I installed RockBox on my Gigabeat. Apparently, while I was trying to delete some stuff on my MP3, RockBox deleted more than just some audio files. So I pretty much followed what people have been saying here:

-I went on the wiki and downloaded the GBSYSTEM.zip and copied it on my Gigabeat;
-I downloaded the FWIMG01.DAT file and pasted it in the FWIM folder;
-I downloaded the latest update for F20's on Toshiba's support website

It almost fully worked, except that now I get the C00F74E4 SYSTEM ERROR message. The biggest problem isn't only the error code, but the fact that whenever I try to plug my F20 in on my computer, it doesn't do anything; it's like if it didn't realized it was hooked up to the computer. What should I do about this? Is there anything to do?

I read on another topic that someone got the same C00F74E4 problem; he/she dismantled the F40(in that person's case), unplugged the hard-drive and apparently it worked. I think I might try this out, but being a rookie at all of this, I'm kinda scared I might ef' things up even more.

Any help?

Rockbox doesn't delete anything without being told to. 

Disassembling the case is not difficult.  There's a guide that you can find from the wiki that does a good job of showing and describing the required steps.
