After i`ve used the apple updater, when i resetted my ipod an icon appeared - system files error. i cant get to any other menu - its just that icon. i would keep it as a fat32 drive, but now i cannot format it so that i could update the system files on it manually. when i try to open the drive, it says its not formatted - so i am in a no way out situation really. i want to use it as an ipod, not as a hdd - but i cannot really use it as any of these. do you think there could be a way of overriding the safety lock, so i could format it entirely? as i had a look on my ipod, it looks like the parts are glued - i believe that if i open it, i won`t be able to put the pieces together. can you take a look at it and tell me what you think? in my opinion the only way to make it work is to take the hdd out, format it, update the system files, make an ipod out of it and put the hdd back into the box. maybe there is a way of switching the ipod entirely off, so that it would be just plain hdd working - than you can format it and the files that make messages on the ipod appear could be updated. please, tell me what you think.
thanks for help
