Not work, can’t use partitioning/formatting tools with sansa… any suggestion?

Can’t format clip+ too. In Windows 7 and 8, with standard format tool, disk management and partition wizard 7. Of course, FAT32.  Catalog list:

##MUSIC#\
##PORT# 

.rockbox\
AUDIBLE 
AUDIOBOOKS 
MUSIC 
PODCASTS\
RECORD\
DID.bin
MTABLE.SYS
RES_INFO.SYS
SYS_CONF.SYS
version.sdk

BUT! Player work with old rockbox and old original firmware (work with freezes, errrors, etc.)! But I don’t delete music from it. Disk check don’t finish with unknown error. Partition wizard 7 output corrupt disk. No warrantly.

Did you try the on-board Format command on the player itself? Settings > System Settings > Format.

Usually nothing as a result. Or freeze.

Hey! No ideas or solutions?

16

Are you trying to format it while connected to your computer in the OF or Rockbox?

Original firmware don’t install (I tried boot with pushed left key - nothing). Rockbox don’t uninstall! Manually or automatic - that’s all the same as a result - rockbox don’t delete. My clip+ - forever rockboxed! :slight_smile:

To uninstall rockbox you have to boot into the Sandisk firmware. You’ll have to figure out how to fix it before you can uninstall. Which is probably a good idea, since if you could remove rockbox without fixing the Sandisk firmware your player would be bricked.
