"This tells me that your player is in MTP mode (media transfer).
You want to put it in MSC mode (mass storage) so it looks like a
normal USB drive. It will actually look like 2 drives, one for the
player and one for the player's card slot. The lower letter drive
will be the main player where you want to install Rockbox.

Hi Don,

Many thanks for your very prompt and informative reply.

Do you know how I can have the player come-up in Mass Storage when i plug it
in? Would it be an option on the screen of the player. Like with my Nokia
N86 when I connect it via USB I'm asked on the phones UI if I want MS, PC
Suite, etc. The nice thing there is I've speech on my phone...

or I see a little slider on the top of the player that looks like a it might
be a keypad lock. Maybe moving this from either side is MT/MS modes?

Cheers,
Barry.
