Hello again :)
I have achieved a level of joy with this issue. My player is no longer
toast :) I followed these instructions:
Recovery mode of the Sansa e200
Recovery mode can be used to replace a bad .mi4 image on the player.
Accessing the recovery mode
* Power off
* Turn ON lock/hold
* Hold down record
* Insert USB cable
You will find a 16MB USB drive now, this is the recovery partition.
I was then able to mount the player and remove the .rockbox directory.
I am going to play with this a LITTLE bit more. Even though I'm pretty
sure I didn't, I COULD have made a dumb mistake before... I will
report back with my findings.
