while I've never used jfw with the rockbox utility it should at least read something. if not, have you tried using nvda? it does work with that, as that is what I use to install rockbox on my iPod video and my sansa fuze. the sansa clip is stable with rockbox, so you don't have to install it manually. as for the non drive letter, I really don't know why it's not working properly but I suspect it's that annoying device stage taking the drive letter away from it. with some devices when you plug them into your computer there's a driver on the device that activates device stage, which is supposed to be a convenient way to check battery status, and copy files to the device. but in reality it's an accessible nightmare. the only work around I know of is to select change settings and then choose open files with windows explorer when I plug in my device, or similar, I can't remember the actual text of the control perfectly since it's been months since i"ve actually seen it. once you install rockbox onto the device that device stage will go away, as rockbox will overwrite the driver with the usual drive letter, and it wil act like a normal usb flash drive. hope this helpa somewhat.
