Not at all. I read that before posting my last message. Are we supposed to try to guess what you are doing to try to replace the Rockbox directory, or what is happening when you try to do it?
Are you trying to delete the directory from within Rockbox?
Are you trying to delete the directory from Windows?
Are you even using Windows?
You say you compiled Rockbox yourself. Did you run "make zip" to make the .zip file?
If so, did you extract its contents to the iPod?
Are you using an unzip utility to extract the new directory to the player?
If so, which one?
What error message are you getting?
Are you trying to cut and paste from the .zip folder?
If so, what error message are you getting?
What *exactly* do you mean when you say "the ipod tells me I cannot replace certain files"?
