I've looked into it and everyone says i need to change the path???
i cant find out how to do this, or what to change the path to, someone please help!
In the command prompt cd to the directory where the file adb is and then execute the command or put the complete path where adb is in front of the command.

You are almost there.

Just type in the full path in the command window.
Code:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb kill-server
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb devices

or

Code:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
.\adb kill-server
.\adb devices

This probably a stupid question but how do you know when your device is rooted is there some way of knowing ?

Thanks in advance

Ok guys I've been reading this thread through a lot of times and I'm having the same problem as Mrlarner.

I've tried all the directory in cmd ( changing them to fit where my adb is )
but I get errors all the time,

I have installed the drivers with no problem but I'm at a loss,
Can someone help me ?

I too am having problems with rooting my 101 G9.

The problem I am having is with the USB driver. The driver provided by Archos does not appear to work on either x86 or x64 systems. If I enable USB debugging and connect the device, everything goes fine up until it finds a device called ARCHOS, which it cannot find the driver for, even if I direct it to the folder containing the unzipped Archos drivers. It simply says that a compatible driver cannot be found. The exact same thing happens if I plug it into my x86 Windows 7 machine, or my x64 Windows 7 machine.

MTP and CTP modes both work fine, despite this! I can open up the device in Windows and browse/copy files as normal. But "adb devices" shows nothing at all.

Archos 80 G9 adb driver install

I've been trying to install the adb drivers before rooting my device but in the device manager there is no ABD under Unknown Devices just Archos. The drivers install and the device appears in the list as Android Phone->Android Composite ADB Interface. After this I copy the line of code indicated but when I try to enter the adb commands adb kill-server & adb devices and all I get is 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What am I doing wrong?

    The most simple way is this thread. I've done all the editing work for you.

    This guide is based on Windows 7 Home Premium. It may be different on your computer. If you are on a Linux build or Mac, you don't need this

    Steps: Difficulty: Easy/Medium
    1. Download this zip and extract it to your desktop
    2. Open the start menu, type Device Manager in the search box, then wait and the Shortcut "Device Manager" will appear above in the box. Click it. Wait a moment and Device Manager will appear
    3. Enable USB Debugging on your Archos device, in Settings > Applications > Development > Tick USB Debugging and accept the warning
    4. Plug in your device into your PC
    5. Go back to device manager and find ADB under Unknown Devices (will have a yellow ! next to it)
    6. Right click and select Update Device Driver Software...
    7. Select Browse my computer for driver software
    8. Select Let me pick from a list of drivers installed on my computer
    9. Select Show all and click next
    10. Click Have Disk, then Browse
    11. Go to your extracted folder and go into it, until a file called android_winusb.inf is there. Double click that (NOT android_winusb_old.inf)
    12. Click OK and then Next
    -Note: If it says not signed, just click next anyway
    13. Wait and if it says not signed, click install drivers anyway
    14. Wait until it's done, then close all of your programs
    15. Press the windows key and R at the same time on your keyboard
    16. Type cmd and hit enter (Command prompt will appear)
    17. Copy and paste the following code into it:
    Code:
    echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini
    18. Type adb kill-server
    19. Type adb devices, and your device should now show up
    20. Hit the thanks button below

    Thanks to cajl-jbmm from MoDaCo for posting the modification required for the drivers to work

    No need any more. Rooted the device by using the Developer Edition Menu and flashing new kernel.
