So i just rockboxed my nano 2g and when I plug in the USB, it does not recognize it as disk drive. What do I do? How do I load music and what not?

I didn't think the 2G could be rockboxed but that sounds like a problem.

Perhaps sharing what you performed to solve your problem? As reference for later if other run into the same problem.
Since Rockbox for iPod nano 2G is still in unstable stage...

Good idea. Well I don't really know what I did is how Rockbox works on other devices but here's how I put music on mine. As stated before, the problem was that, my computer was not recognizing the Nano in Rockbox mode. So, I booted it up in iPod firmware mode (turn nano off, and when u turn on and see the apple logo, flip the hold switch on), when in iPod firmware, plug usb cable back in. The computer now recognizes it as a disk drive. Put all music in main folder. Disconnect from computer, boot it up in rockbox mode by doing hard reset (menu + select buttons together) and update database. voila, music is all there

Geez now I wish I had my old one to play around with now after all these years it can work on there. I had it on my 1G nano and it got stuck in hold mode while doing a similar thing.

Rockbox only works properly on USB 2.0. It does not like 1.1 and therefore won't recognize it. My XP desktop has a 1.1 usb port on the front and sometimes I forget...
