Okay, after backing up and reformatting one of my 128Gb cards from ExFAT to FAT32, I set up the desktop (Win 7 SP1 64-bit) to copy all the backed up files to the newly reformated card. And promptly went back to bed.
Once that was completed (~5 hours), I did the same to the second 128Gb card which had much less data on it than I thought (another hour). I installed the .rockbox folder on it before reinstalling the backed up music folders.
I then unzipped the installer using 7Zip which at first gave me a nested xDuoo folder (xDuoo folder within C:\xDuoo) as the extrraction utility asked me if I wanted a new folder and I said yes. Deleted that and tried again extracting to C:\. That gave me a folder named C:\rockbox-bootloader-d312ba8M-160316 with a xDuoo folder nested under it. I moved the subfolder to the root and deleted the now empty rockbox-bootloader folder.
I then went to try to install the JZ4760 driver. Tried svyr's recommendation below but got an error saying the inf driver installation method wasn't supported. So I then tried what hte80 recommended. Found the JZ4760 under "other devices" rather than "USB devices." Followed his instructions which worked properly installing the driver.
Right now I'm charging the X3 before moving to install the port
Just wanted to share as others have indicated issues with the driver installation and to re-emphasize that Rockbox does NOT support ExFAT requiring both SD cards to be reformatted to either FAT32 or FAT16.

hold option down then plug the x3 into the computer, windows will detect an unknown device and look pointlessly for drivers. At this stage open up device manager, you will find an unknown device (will have something like a yellow ! icon), click on it, then click update driver => browse my computer for driver. Then select the folder where the drivers are, either 32 or 64 bit depending on whether your windows is 32 or 64 bit. This should install the drivers successfully. Start up the burn tool and it should automatically flash rockbox
Thanks for advice but I think I'm being particularly thick. Trying to install drivers but only get option to open or save . When I do either a blank window appears and disappears in a second m.. And that's it. Cant get x3 to be recognised anywhere after that. Have to reset
@fredhubbard2
try this?
