Chapter 2. Installation
3. Take the .zip file that you downloaded and use the "Extract all" command of
your unzip program to extract the files onto
Note: The entire contents of the .zip file should be extracted directly to the root of
your player's drive. Do not try to create a separate directory on your player for the
Rockbox files! The .zip file already contains the internal structure that Rockbox needs.
If the contents of the .zip file are extracted correctly, you will have a directory called
.rockbox, which contains all the files needed by Rockbox, in the main directory of your
player's drive.
Installing the bootloader
Download the Rockbox bootloader from
gigabeat/
Starting at the root directory of your player browse into the directory GBSYSTEM
and from that into the subdirectory FWIMG. These directories are hidden. Make
sure that you have configured your browser to show hidden files or you may be
unable to see FWIMG.
In that directory you'll find a file called FWIMG01.DAT. This too may be hidden.
Rename the file to FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG. Make sure you spelled that name correctly
as it is needed for booting the Toshiba firmware.
Warning: If you do not complete this step then you will be unable to uninstall
Rockbox without a copy of the original firmware from the original install CD.
Now copy the file FWIMG01.DAT you downloaded to that directory. Make sure the
spelling is correct.
