Reorganise/partially rewrite the installation chapter to present Rockbox Utility as the
preferred installation method, and don't have important information only under manual install. For now retain manual install as a subsection. Patch originally in FS#9895 git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@20034 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

1\subsubsection{UMS and MTP}
2The \playertype{} can be connected to a computer in two different modes:
3\begin{itemize}
4 \item Universal Mass Storage (UMS): In this mode, it will appear on your computer as a regular disk. This mode works with all major operating systems, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
5 \item Media Transfer Protocol (MTP): In this mode, it will appear on your computer as a Media Device. MTP was created by Microsoft for use with DAPs and only works with Windows XP and Media Player 10.
6\end{itemize}
7The \playerlongtype{} is \opt{h10}{only available as a MTP device, but}\opt{h10_5gb}{available as both a MTP and as a UMS device, depending on where and when you bought it. You can tell which you have by how it appears when you connect it to a computer. If it appears as a regular disk then it is UMS. If it appears as a Media Device on Windows XP, or if it does not appear at all on other operating systems, then it is MTP. Even if you have a MTP \dap{}, it} can be forced into UMS mode using the UMS trick.

9\subsubsection{UMS mode and the UMS trick}
10It is possible to force a MTP \playertype{} to start up in UMS mode using the following procedure:
11\begin{enumerate}
12 \item Ensure the \dap{} is fully powered off by \opt{h10}{using a pin to push the small reset button inside the hole between the Hold switch and remote control connector.}\opt{h10_5gb}{removing the battery and putting it back in again.}
13 \item Connect your \playertype{} to the computer using the data cable.
14 \item Hold \ButtonRight{} and push \ButtonPower{} to turn the \dap{} on.
15 \item Continue holding \ButtonRight{} until the USB Connected screen appears.
16 \item The \dap{} will now appear as a regular disk on your computer.
17\end{enumerate}
18\note{Once Rockbox has been installed, when you shut down your \dap{} from Rockbox it will totally power the player off so step 1 is no longer necessary.}
