no guarantee, but here's something you could try.

1) try forcing your iPod into Disk Mode first

- simultaneously press and hold the Menu and Center buttons

- the iPod should reboot after a few seconds. Immediately upon seeing the Apple logo:

- simultaneously press and hold the Center and Play/Pause (bottom) buttons

- the iPod should now say "Disk Mode" on top with a check mark and "OK to disconnect" in the middle of the screen

connect your iPod via USB to your Mac (you don't say but I'm assuming you have a Mac??)

then run Disk Utility, select the iPod hard drive in Disk Utility and try to Erase the iPod hard drive. Select Format: Mac OS Extended (if on a PC, just format the iPod as FAT32)

after erasing the iPod, unplug it, reboot it (press and hold Menu and Center buttons)

then plug it in and connect to iTunes, and see if you can restore it now.

2) by the way, did you know there's a hidden diagnostic mode in most iPods? you won't be able to fix your restore-failure problem, but if there some hardware problem in your iPod the diagnostic mode might point out something

to enter diagnostic mode with the 5th gen iPod:

- reset the iPod by holding down Menu and Center button

- immediately upon seeing the Apple logo, press and hold the Center and Previous (left) buttons

- you should hear a beep and see "SVC Diag Boot" on top of the screen

- from there you can press Menu to enter manual tests

- once in the Manual tests, use the scroll wheel and center button to navigate

- under the "IO" subsection you can find various HardDrive tests, including checking SMART status, HD model & serial #, etc. supposedly there is also a Disc Scan test, but for some reason on my 5th gen iPod I don't see that option

If Disk Mode restore doesn't work, then the cable or hard drive has failed. Before buying anything, try reseating the hard drive cable. If this doesn't work, listen to the hard drive; if it sounds bad replace that but if the hard drive sounds fine the cable is probably bad. The guide to do this can be found here: iPod 5th Generation (Video) Hard Drive Replacement

If the hard drive is bad, you can install a CF->1.8" adapter and upgrade to solid state storage. If you go this route, get a 128GB CF card and be done with it - although a 64GB will work but you want a dual card type like many of the SD card adapters. I'd also recommend masking the side of the board that lays on the iPod PCB with electrical tape to prevent a short and be sure. Conformal coating is another option, but may create warranty issues.

The limits for the boards are:

  • 5G: 80GB
  • 5.5G: 160GB

The parts you need are listed below:

Hi. I have most of the components described in this article (CF->IDE adapter and the 130 GB Memory). With the replacement I use the existing cable for the Toshiba HD, but the restore still no possibe (Re appears the X logo). DO you think I need to get the Hard Drive Cable?

Or am I expericing a different case?

Memory not compatible?

Thanks!
