So,I am trying to fix the wife's iPod Classic (80Gb). I tried everything in the apple article that you get sent to with the error message and its been unsuccessful so far. I dug a little further and read some more posts and have tried the following...(Running on a Windows 8.1 machine. I have access to a mac but I am extremely illiterate when it comes to macs... they rub me the wrong way, not sure why so I refuse to use them unless I absolutely have to...)1. Ran Smart and had an "Error" returned so there was no smart data provided.2. HDD Spec provided me with the following information. SNO: x2b7wc7fw FW Revision: vs210a LBAs: 0x12a19eb03. Using CMD ran the below operations and received the provided results...4. Using Disk Management, I opened the properties window for the ipod and even though the disk is reported as working properly...The Volumes tab shows what I presume means that there is no hard drive...The Events log shows that everything was deleted and I'm not sure what all that description really entails or what it means for the actual iPod, if anything.So that's where I'm at, I have no idea what to try next. The driver is up to date as far as I can tell as well.I feel like I'm completely out of options here which is always lame. Does any one have any ideas?

Error 1439? Lost cause or what?

So,

I am trying to fix the wife's iPod Classic (80Gb). I tried everything in the apple article that you get sent to with the error message and its been unsuccessful so far. I dug a little further and read some more posts and have tried the following...

(Running on a Windows 8.1 machine. I have access to a mac but I am extremely illiterate when it comes to macs... they rub me the wrong way, not sure why so I refuse to use them unless I absolutely have to...)

1. Ran Smart and had an "Error" returned so there was no smart data provided.

2. HDD Spec provided me with the following information.

SNO: x2b7wc7fw
FW Revision: vs210a
LBAs: 0x12a19eb0

3. Using CMD ran the below operations and received the provided results...

4. Using Disk Management, I opened the properties window for the ipod and even though the disk is reported as working properly...

The Volumes tab shows what I presume means that there is no hard drive...

The Events log shows that everything was deleted and I'm not sure what all that description really entails or what it means for the actual iPod, if anything.

So that's where I'm at, I have no idea what to try next. The driver is up to date as far as I can tell as well.

I feel like I'm completely out of options here which is always lame. Does any one have any ideas?
