| \opt{e200}{\fixme{NOTE: These instructions will not work on the |
| ``Rhapsody'' version of the E200 series (also known as E200R). Please |
| follow the instructions at |
| \url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation}.}} |
| |
| In order to make your \playertype{} load and execute the Rockbox firmware you |
| have just installed, you will need to install the Rockbox |
| bootloader. Unless bugs are found in the bootloader code, or |
| significant new feature are added, you will only have to perform this |
| step once. |
| |
| These steps use the sansapatcher tool. Source code is available in the Rockbox |
| SVN repository (\url{http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rbutil/sansapatcher/}). |
| |
| \subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Windows} |
| |
| \begin{enumerate} |
| |
| \item Make sure you are logged into your computer as Administrator, or a |
| user with Administrator privileges and connect your \dap{}. |
| |
| \item Download sansapatcher.exe from |
| \download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/sansapatcher/win32/sansapatcher.exe} |
| and run it. |
| |
| \item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about |
| your \playertype{} and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox |
| bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and sansapatcher will now |
| install the bootloader. After a short time you should see the message |
| ``[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully.'' Press ENTER again to exit |
| sansapatcher. |

| |
| \end{enumerate} |

| (in Applications $\rightarrow$ Utilities) and click |
| on the name of your \dap{} (e.g. Sansa \opt{e200}{e280}\opt{c200}{c250}) |
| in the list on the left pane. Then click on the ``unmount'' icon at the top. |
