Ipod 3G 20GB windows xp operating system
I unplugged my ipod while it was in "Disk Mode" and the screen said "Do
Not Disconnect". Now I can't get my PC to recognize it. I may have damaged the hard drive. I ran a hard drive test and it failed. It is hard for me to believe that what I did could have damaged the ipod beyond repair. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it? |

reformatting it might do the trick. try reloading your ipod software
and it will try to detect the corrupted drive and reformat it. remember that the Filesystem of an ipod is different from XP :) hth |

Try a "reboot" first: if I recall, just hold menu + center buttons for a few
seconds. May startup again without need to reload all your songs. -- Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me. |

I doubt you damaged the hardware itself, if it is actually bad then it's probably a coincidence. What I suspect happened is you unplugged it before the write cache had cleared and corrupted the partition on the disk. Go to Administrative Tools in the control panel and then find Disk Management, plug in the drive and see if it shows up, you should be able to create a new partition on it. |

Thanks for the advice but it didn't work; my pc does not recognize the
ipod. Every time I hook it to the computer USB port it goes into "DISK MODE" and displays the "Do Not Disconnect" until I shut down the computer. I appreciate any advice. |

I tried that but the ipod didn't show up on the computer. Every time I
