My ipod hard disk is having severe problems and the itunes software can't mount the drive. So i plan to take it out and do some diagnostics to see if it really is dead. So i need to borrow a converter to connect the ipod 1.8" IDE hard drive to a standard 2.5" IDE hard drive connection. Then i can initialize the drive and run a surface scan and format as fat32 and then hopefully do a restore. to see what i'm talking about take a look at: http://www.addonics.com/products/io/aaedt18IDE25.asp cheers gord ----------------------------------------------------------- For information about MUGLO: http://www.freewebs.com/muglo -----------------------------------------------------------
