I've only just discovered this channel recently but I'm already hooked. I can relate to trying to get something working and you end up going down several different branches just to get one piece of the puzzle working. Sometimes you deviate some much, you forget what you were trying to do in the first place :D
lol that would be funny, he would need a IDE to SATA adapter though not a CF to SATA adapter, the original drive is IDE, Compact Flash cards use a subset of the IDE command set hence their relatively easy compatibility, that's why he needs the fancy active adapter as opposed to just a plain old CF to SD adapter for his iPod
I felt bad laughing along. A 30 minute job turns into a 3 day frustration, and one that few will understand why you went through it all. Thanks for documenting this, it captures the moments well. Fight the good fight
Druaga the next time you use GParted click on the "View" menu and click on "Supported File Systems", that will open a window with all the supported file systems on the Linux installation. On the "Required Software" column you have the name of the packages you have to install using apt-get. For hfs file systems it appears to be the "hfsutils" and "hfsprogs" packages.
***** I can't stand slow computers. I start freaking out if something loads longer than 10 seconds. That's why I hate fixing my grandma's PC. It literally takes 5 minutes to open chrome.
Hey bro, if you're having trouble getting the stock os to load up on the ipod, try installing RockBox, It's an alternate operating system that doesn't require itunes at all. Got it running on my Ipod Classic and it's brilliant.
I'm jealous. I really want one so that I can convert my music library to Opus or Vorbis and convert my wav files to flac so that my music can be patent free and well compressed.
you've earned a new sub for your creativity and expertise in all this, its all for fun and somehow i find your channel more interesting than every other channel on youtube, keep going brother !!
Awesome video, and affective editing to keep it from getting boring!!! I could totally 100% relate to your entire process. I think though this shows the importance of a 1.8 -> CF adapter card instead of just sticking the CF there directly!?! Looking forward to Part 2!
Maybe the battery needs a little bump up. Overstored batteries tend to be deeply discharged but more or less fine. with a small current limit of about .05C and 3V, slowly bump it up to 3V. After that it should charge normally in the iPod. The reason why you can't select hfs(+) is because the appropriate hfs tools are not installed by default. Also 1337 likes is quite cool!
iPod should be a slasher villain, it's killing adapters left & right. Druaga1 you always make laugh when you run into problems. I really like your genuine reactions to sudden issues.
There is a 32 GB "limit" to FAT32 but it's pretty stupid: that's what they set in Windows 2000 and never bothered to update it. You can actually create larger volumes in Windows 98: up to slightly less than 128 GB. Back in the day Microsoft felt the need to cripple FAT32 support to promote NTFS but no such thing was really needed because NTFS has compelling features. Gparted can format larger volumes, up to the full 2 TB. I imagine you'd be able to find systems with difficulty reading said volumes, however, since >32 GB probably isn't well tested.
I think the biggest issue with large FAT32 partitions was the individual filesize limit. A max 4GB filesize is a big problem when DVD disc images are ~4.7GB Got caught out by that in the past a few times when fiddling with old tech. :D ("why can't i back up stuff to this old hard drive???" hehe)
Actually everything was decent! The Mac OS was the slowest, especially load time but still usable once I had upgraded the PCI/SSD to a much faster one. The built-in 8gb (or 16gb?) PCI stick SSD was awful slow, but the 64gb I replaced it with definitely sped things up.
Fun fact for y'all, I figured this out from owning a Dell Latitude X1 which uses the same style hard drives as these older iPods. The connector that the motherboard uses is 40 pin ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector, going to a 1.8 inch IDE Hard Drive, however the hard drive has a compact flash like attachment. As these drives were standardized, by purchasing a 40 pin ZIF cable - since most 40 pin ZIF drives don't use the compact flash connection, it is possible to connect up to a 128GB 1.8" ZIF SSD (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/128GB-KingSpec-1-8-inch-ZIF-40-pin-SSD-Solid-State-Disk-SMI-Controller-MLC/182983101570?epid=129600902&hash=item2a9aa48c82:g:lZAAAOSwgmJXyTim) to one of these iPods, and it's native and doesn't require any adapters. But yeah, there's native SSD's for these older iPods, and they work in Latitude X1's too! Or you could just use iFlash which is probably cheaper.
For the love of god, You need to change the partition table (on the linux program) from MS-DOS compatible to MAC As a computer technician/freak, I screaned and facepalmed myself, more times than I should XD
??? Technology then was pretty good. The pentium 4 wasn't so good though. Didn't see that the ipod thing was from 2000. Makes sense to have a hard drive now.
There were solid state media players at the time. They had capacities of 32 - 64 megabytes, enough for 5-20 songs. The iPod Classic was retired in 2014, so, perhaps surprisingly, platter drives lasted quite a long time in the marketplace. The 160 GB platter drive on the highest capacity model is unmatched by any solid state model, though the iPod Touch 128 GB released a year ago comes close. However, people with that level of stroage needs are probably better off getting an Android phone and storing their collection on Micro SD.
12:57 "hurr-durr, i put it in upside down, and i fcked the whole... ipod up" 17:06 "now, make sure you don't plug something in where it's not supposed to be, or your... motherboard will be fried"
Haha I came here expecting some sort of repair/video, with a major setback and then an eventual win. Instead I just got a comedy video that had Red and Green written all over it that ultimately had nothing to do with replacing an iPod hard drive lol. Very good video sir!
If something is a bit too small, just stick scotch tape in it. It's what I do with my iPad, which has such a worn out charging port, that it can't charge unless I put tape in the port and cover the part of the charging cord that goes in the iPad with tape adhesive. The best part is that it hasn't started a fire yet.
Oh wow, the motherboard USB headers :D The dual-USB port motherboard header has 9 pins, 8 in use and one populated plus one empty so you can only plug it in the right orientation. The second header is half a motherboard adapter - one electrical USB connection, it has 4 pins because a USB port uses 4 wires... Fun times were the computer cases that split their motherboard headers into individual pin connectors, where you needed to plug in the individual connectors into the right places on each twin-USB motherboard header. (power +, power - and data +, data -)
