Charles:

I downloaded from that site as well and I get the same message which I posted a few replies ago. The problem seems to be that I can't open the file in my archive manager for some reason...read the post. Thanks for any help.

Which one are you trying to download and expand?

1.03.01H (Beta Firmware) ... 9.37MB

Why are you trying a beta firmware anyway? I think the non-betas are OK.

[aldodefilippi]

o.k. now how do I find the root directory and copy into it? thanks

It looks like the OP wants to use the OF and Hebrew.

I managed to extract the firmware for you. The archive file is too large to attach, so if you want it, I can send it to you privately. You do realize that this is a Hebrew firmware? There are 2 directories in the archive- one Hebrew and one non-Hebrew (in case you want to go back).

I finally was able to upload the firmware. Now can you tell me how to access sansa e200 root directory? Thanks

Just mount the drive (your system is probably set to auto-mount anyway). Copy the firmware to the mount point, unmount and disconnect. The root directory is the top level directory in a file system. For example if your Sansa is mounted under "/media/usbdisk", this is where you should put the firmware.
