You can buy replacement drives and fit yourself or there are firms who will replace it as a service. Google "replace iPod classic hard drive" to get started.

There may be a severly damaged area of the disk that needs to be detected and mapped out (which might take multple restore attempts) or it may have had it. 😕

I don't get what u said.. are u implying that if I keep restoring (the DFU way) I might solve this?
or should I just give up?
Sadly I think your iPod has had it. 😟

Yep, that drive has had it. There are third party repair shops that might swap the drive for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

I know this is a 5 yo thread, but my iPod recently showed "[Can't Open Device] ERROR! Diag Halt" in its hard drive test. Does this mean he's got no way to be saved?
See http://joshhighland.com/2006/03/29/fix-your-ipod-by-spanking-it/ for a possible fix. Opening the case and reseating the connector might be even better.

Interesting I have 16376 as well Which is pretty close to 2^14. I wonder if there's a 16b max on reallocs, then it doesn't try any more???
Thought I'd open up mine to see whether reallocs might be the problem with mine. Turns out I have 4,194,368. I don't think there's much saving it at this point.
So it would seem. 😮
