I have tried to restore this to disc mode as suggested in the apple help section but it doesn't work.
The red cross inside a red circle, with the apple web address at the bottom, keeps returning.
Anything else I can try, or is it a costly repair shop I need?
iPod classic, Windows 7, 160GB
That symbol,
is also known as the Fatal Red X, which mean that your iPod Hardisk is dying, cannot be booted up or dead. There is nothing much we can suggest here except read thisApple support Article or to send your iPod in to Apple Store or any 3rd Party iPod Repair vendor, for a replacement.
Thanks Bilbo, Yea, my mate had a look at it last night and said the same, I've ordered a new Hard disk today for £46 so I hope that resolves it. Cheers.
Good luck on replacing the hardisk, it is a difficult task opening the casing, if you haven't done it before.
My ipod won't reset, tried ALL the steps several times. The 'red cross' always appears, any suggestions?
