Hello
Itunes cannot detect Ipod after the ipod was dropped to the floor and sometimes when itunes tryed to access the ipod windows showed up the error "Delayed Write Failed" (after i formated the hdd with windows no errors showed up) so i guess is a hdd failure but the ipod works, shows the menu, and i can get into configuration menu, also from windows i can see both partitions, but i cannot format the 2nd partition (format process stops) but i can do a quick format, if i try to scan the hdd for errors, scan process will stop on the 2nd estage, i made some testing and here are the results.
SMART Data test
Retracts: 3
Reallocs: 94
Pending sectors: 47
Is my hdd broken? can i restore my ipod without itunes (ipod updater always asks for itunes 7)? I know a bit of electronics so is it right to change the hdd by myself, (i red some tutorials and it looks easy)? which hdd can i use (i did only found fujitsu ones)?
Thanks in advance.
