the hard drive on my iPod is apaprently hosed.
Probably from using it whilst driving down rough roads. I'm pretty sure the disk is physically damaged. Is there a way, a utility from Apple or somone, that you can basically 'reformat' the drive so the firmware knows what sectors and tracks on the drive are bad and hence knows to not write to them, or is this concept totally lost on Apple because it makes sense and god forbid they release a produce that makes sense.... heh

You just said: QUOTE the hard drive on my iPod is apaprently hosed. Probably from using it whilst driving down rough roads. I'm pretty sure the disk is physically damaged. Of course if you buy an HDD based iPod that's going to happen. And I'm pretty sure that if you buy an HDD based Zune the same thing will happen. Once a drive is physically damaged, it's toast if it's a Zune or an iPod. Next time buy a flash based player. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
