Yet i have a problem with my 80go, i have downloaded the last bootloader, last rockbox for 64mb, restored my ipod under windows. Launched the bootloader, installed all the file(no problem here i know it by heart with my h340). Yet when i start my ipod i have this message
It's done a few weird things, crashed once or twice, and had that freeze error that someone else talked about (can browse, UI works, can select files to play, playback doesn't start)Then you need to update your bootloader (in case you haven't found this out already ;)

Hi There Ya' All,

It's impossible to say if it's "the right one" since you don't say which iPod you have.
Where did you unzip it to anyway ?

dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sdc count=1
dd if=bootpartition.bin of=/dev/sdc1
mkdosfs -F 32 -S 2048 /dev/sdc2
All is good apple OS boots fine. I then install rockbox.unzip -d /mnt/ipod rockbox.zip

I am still getting the cannot find rockbox.ipod error no matter what build I use whether rockbox.ipod is in the root or the .rockbox folder.
I have checked and double checked my bootloader as version 1.1 both with the ipodpatcher program and one I built from source.
I did format my iPod using the mbr files from the IpodFat32 wiki, but I am relatively sure that is correct since ipodpatcher and iTunes both report it as a winpod with 2048mb sectors.
(I think my next step may be to try to install windows on my mac and go from there. That is the EXTREMELY long method)
i don't know what to do there's no manual out there)
could someone please make a good and easy manual for the ipod video 64mb 80gb ipod

which showed the drive as a FAT32 partititon and ipodpatcher reported it with sector size of 2048, just as it was in all previous attempts.

this explains why rockbox.ipod can't be found but not why ipodpatcher reports a sector size of 2048 unless that is stored in the MBR and it isn't reading it from the drive itself.
I am trying very hard to find a windows computer with a new enough version of iTunes to restore from. So far it insists on connecting to the internet, which has been my problem.
why doesn't itunes download the newest firmware for it i am using 7.1(2) and it's working great so why doesn't your itunes work is your internet connected (obviosly)
Indeed it doesn't seem possible to use anything other than iTunes on a Windows machine to get the iPod formatted.
