Unable to format or restore - 160GB Classic
Hello. I currently have an issue with an 160GB iPod classic as it won't restore or even reformat now, and the iPod is completely blank
In the usual mode, the iPod freezes iTunes straight away and also freezes My Computer when I try to click on the iPod entry. In disk mode, the iPod is available in My Computer to click on and move forward on the drive page, however the iPod isn't recognised in iTunes at all.
Previously, I was able to reformat the iPod, which in turn allowed me to restore the iPod after several attempts and it started to sync the songs held on iTunes. Sadly this didn't complete and crashed midway through. I have been unable to get back to that restore stage.
I have tried this iPod on a seperate computer and it does exactly the same thing, however the other computer works fine with a different iPod.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more information from me to work out a solution.
iPod classic, Windows 7
