BOOYAH! iPod repaired~
Aug. 15th, 2005 11:45 amThank you Mike! (And also David - who posted the location of the firmware - http://www.dagolden.com/cgi-bin/main/index.cgi?IPodAndRedhat8)
I went searching for more details, and came across this page: http://www.bsodmike.com/?page_id=13 - where there were instructions to "upgrade" you ipod and alter the volume. So I followed that, combined with the firmware inside apple's iPod software updater, and poof, working iPod again.
The problem seemed to be the fact that somehow, I had managed to kill off the second partition (see bold, red section under cut), which was supposed to contain the firmware - this caused the folder-with-exclamation mark issue.
It's kinda odd though, even after all of the erasing and repartitioning, etc, all of my music is still here. Although probably not for too long - I intend on doing a proper restore of my iPod and swap in new music.
Terminal transcript included:( cut )
