				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   -------------------- I r Ur Gawd! |
