iPod 5th gen iPod Linux question

timmy2960 · 03-17-2008, 04:31 PM

Okay. So I got the installer.

So I got it to get past backing up the FW unlike when I was on Vista, it would crash immediately there.

So I decided to try with my laptop on XP

It finished formatting and created the new spot for iPod Linux.

Then it said "can not patch FW partion (error:10)"

I was trying to go to the iPodlinux site.

But every time I tried to go to a page that wasn't screen shots or how to install manually, it would crash.

So I tried to restore.

It said it couldn't restore and to use Apple Restore or something like that.

So now I'm out on 2 gigs on my iPod.

And still iPod linux-less.

Any help?

thanks.

It's an iPod. 5th gen.

Boot into disk mode( Restart your ipod (Menu+Select) then hold Play/Pause+Select to get into disk mode) and connect it to your computer and restore again. It should work.

I've tried that. Multiple times. I can swear it had 29 gigs when I started.

And installer still reports it as it's installed.
