Formatting is OK if you know how to restore it
Just to clarify what others have pointed out already: it is OK to re-format the iPod's harddisk, even with a "zero all data" option, as long as you can recreate the two partitions, put back the firmware, and initialize the file system. (Perhaps the third step is not necessary, but I believe the first two are).
Formatting is OK if you know how to restore it
To a Terminal novice can you walk me through the process you describe above - my iPod is ****ed and I have a nano I can get the firmware off ( I assume the firmware for Nano and iPod Photos is similar - keeps coming up with an error message 1418 when I plug in the iPod Photo - unplugged it during a restore - and have tried formating and starting again but as you describe - it needs the initial partition map and the firmware for me to get any further I think |
