Had to nuke my 5g 30 gb; downloaded ipodpatcher 0.4, couldn't find the pod even though it shows up in win2k as a drive and otherwise seems to work. The error msg is either
Error reading disk geometry: The network request is not supported.
or
Error opening disk: The system cannot find the file specified.
or
Error reading disk geometry: Incorrect function.
depending on the disk number I give.
I really want to reinstall rockbox - I HATE the ipod software...but can't get past this spot
