Formatting options can render an iPod useless
Authored by: tumble45 on Jul 01, '05 12:06:18AM

ok another idiot here.
so i can see the ipod/drive F: and the icon on the ipod is the FW icon.
now i need to run an updater.
I just need to find an older version of the updaters.
right?

when I run the updater i get this error
"Updater can't install firmware on connected iPod. the iPod's hardware and the Updater firmware are not compatible"
ugh
is there some windows program that will format drives to Use Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus)
I'm assuming because it is formated to FAT32 I am having this problem.

thanks
joe
