First of all, please don't respond to a post when you really mean to
start a new thread. Start a new mail as you would if you were to write
to someone else, and address it to rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se. The reason for
this is explained in the following mail:
http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2006-07/0363.shtml

As for your question. It sounds like you don't have the Rockbox software
on your Iriver. Do you have a .rockbox folder and a rockbox.iriver file
on your Iriver?

Make sure that you do by downloading and installing a recent build.

If you're sure that's correct, download the firmware patcher and run
that on an unmodified file. Then use the Iriver firmware's "upgrade
firmware" feature.

Basically, follow these instructions:
http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-h300/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-60002
to install Rockbox again.
