You can check if disk mode is on, in your iPod settings on iTunes.
You can use the iPod updater to flash your iPod, however all your data will get erased.

i wouldnt care if all my data got erased.
but itunes, AND the updater dont recognize it, and i cant figure out why.

i changed the word "ipod" to "tony" so now the software is looking for "ipod" meanwhile mine is now "tony" becuase i changed the wrong string in the software. there are ways to fix it but i havent done one yet.

i think it says 'do not disconnect' because you have to remove it 'safely' by clicking on the bottom right of your windows screen (connected devices...) click stop and then a lil balloon appears saying it is now safe to remove your device........

I think this is what you mean't, if not i aint got a clue sorry

@lee, thanks, ill try that with my girlfriends when i get home.

but i neeeeeeeeed to figure out how to make mine work heres what i was told by someone else...


you first load up partition magic and go to the free part of your ipod (about 70mb) yout then right click it and select modify then click view sectors. Save all of this sector all 160,00 and odd sectors. You then use winhex to open this sector,search for the part of the string you edited,in my case it was "Tim " once this has been found you need to replace this with the correct hex code. The code for the word ipod is "69 50 6f 64" replace all the things you need to until they are all replaced,save this. Then go back onto partition magic select the free space right click,modify,view sectors. Click options and then tick the box saying enable write. come of the options menu back onto the sector view and click restore. Navigate to the sector you saved should be about 70mb. restore this file. Once this has been done get your ipod click the lock switch at the top then unclick it then hold down menu and the centre button until the apple logo appears. You will probably get an error message. Dont worry this is good. Then wait till it loads up and says do not disconnect on the screen now load up the firmware updater and rstore the original firmware. Then your ipod should be as good as new apart from the songs,photos etc that were lost.


THATS what i was told, but i cant view the E: (my ipod) in partition magic.

helpppp
