Title: Iriver 140 formatted in ntsb ? won't accept rockbox fat32 files - help
Post by: dr fred on February 14, 2007, 04:58:34 PM

Hi folk's-
 Just got a used Iriver 140 and can't get it to upgrade to the patched rockbox bootloader - the hard drive files come up in windows as being ntsb ? -[ may have garbled the actual initials] but the problem is when I get to the upgrade step in the rockbox procedure -where you are supposed to use the 140 general menu to load the files - nothing happens- would really appreciate any help any one can offer ? Thank's --

you probably mean ntfs - which would mean that the original iriver firmware also doesn't work.

get swissknife (http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm (http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm)) and format the drive to FAT32. Be carefull you select the correct drive ;)
Windows may not want to format drives over 32GB, so the above tool comes recommended.

Petur-
 Thank's so much for the help - I will try this route - I am really looking forward to using the Rockbox'd 140 along w/ a UA-5 front end - You Rockbox guys really deserve a lot of credit for the time and effort put into this program !
