help i foun a windows version and i get an error “There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive DeviceHarddisk1DR12.” and then it says it did not find an ipod when my ipod works perfect with itunes can someone solve this problem?

with all due respect,
iPods are not the best players.
-they do only large mp3s, not small high-quality alternative formats like wma
-they have no built in fm radio
-they are made by apple

Hey, there’s nothing wrong with the iPod hacks and mods. the only bad things that happen to the iPods like skrewing them up are due to the ignorance of wannabe hackers, just out there to scam off the people who actually hacked the iPods. For the post#1, all i can say is sorry that your too darn ignorant to think about the consequenses of changing iPods.

I installed linux EASILY on my 4g HP-branded ipod.
Here’s how: (taken partly off of below website, i suggest you check there for updates)

1. Go here. (h t t p : / / w w w . i p o d l i n u x . o r g / 4 G _ I n s t a l l e r)

1.5. and download 4gipl.zip from any of the 2 sources.

2. Unzip. You should see a folder named “iPod lin…ler Modded”. Extract to temporary folder.

2.3. Extract everything else to root of ipod.

2.45. Extract os.rar to (iPod):OS’s for Multi-podzilla capability, (iPod) is driveletter of ipod.

2.6. Choose an interface. If you choose a Podzilla GUI, you are not stuck to that podzilla’s features, it just starts to that Podzilla. explained later… I chose viPodzilla.

2.9. Rename it “podzilla”.

3. Open the iPod…staller Modded folder, and run ipodlinux-installer.exe.

3.1. Unchk the “Check for updates” box.

3.2-3.9. Next>read info>Next>Boot to iPodOS or Linux?>next>Make a backup=yes>next>Wait 4 backup 2 save>Next>w8 4 iPodLinux 2 install>follow any other prompts from installer, then close out.

4. Eject and disconnect iPod. IT WILL RESET.

4.2. after the Apple shows up, turn hold on.

4.3. Tux is listening to the ipod for a brief time, than gets obliterated by flying text. :) When flying text appears, turn hold off.

4.4. No need to pay attention to the text, because an error can whizz past like a truck on i-95!!! but if it glitches up, has a heart attack, pukes garbage through the LCD, makes piezoelec buzzer sound like 56K Modem, spins the harddisk so fast it flies out of its casing assembly halfway to its factory around china, and/or shows the sad/dead iPod icon, something DEFINITELY went wrong (pause for LOL’s (oops wasnt supposed to say that)). but seriously, if errors happen, check above page on
i p o d l i n u x . o r g.
If it freezes up during boot press center select button to send “ENTER”.

4.5 Podzilla is started. Set preferences in Settings>__ , then click Save once finished.

4.75. Refer to
i p o d l i n u x . o r g / 4 G _ I n s t a l l e r
for more info about the 4th Gen Linux Installer and iPod Linux.

Ok so I did this thought I killed my Ipod because it couldnt even be detected on my computer but theres a solution. Hold enter(the middle button)and menu at the same time and when the apple logo appears hold both rewind and enter then select diskmode
