hey all
i was given an ipod video today by my mate.the story goes that apprently he was using it on vista an vista decided to update an shut down having not ejected the ipod an so currupting it,i googled about that an found that vista did have a problem with this which is now fixed.
anyway he spent a while on the apple helpline which culminated in them saying "yeah thats
you need a new one" so he went an bought a new one an was about to bin this one when i snatched it off him.
i'll take anything free.
now what happens is if you connect it to the comp,with or without itunes running i get the do not disconnect bit on the window an in 'my computer' it shows up as 'drive E' but it never synchs with itunes.
i found a bit on youtube about going into disc mode by holding menu+select then play+select then reconnecting it to do a systen reboot but it's still not finding it
also if you go into the properties from the 'my computer' bit it comes up as 0Kb empty an 0kb used.
so is it completely dead? is there anything else left to try? or failing that can it just be formatted into a external drive?
sorry to ramble-thanks to anyone that has read this far-any help fully appreciated.
