Ipod video 64Mb?
GodEater:
We've discovered today that you can use the mformat utility from the mtools suite to correctly format an iPod from OSX (or any POSIX OS for that matter). Check the bottom of the http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodConversionToFAT32 page for details on what to do.

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.

I live in El Salvador in a small town. I have a laptop and use it for work, but it is a Mac. The city hall here has internet I can use, but I don't really have access or the desire to put programs on their computers, escpecially not anything as invasive as iTunes. Any time that is not work hours for the city hall internet access is non-existant.
However I managed to get a friend with an XP laptop to let me borrow it for a day and got things working. Indeed it doesn't seem possible to use anything other than iTunes on a Windows machine to get the iPod formatted.
Now things are working and I'm happy.

Well, this isn't *quite* true. After much discussion yesterday in the IRC channel, we did get an OSX user to get their 80GB iPod formatted with mtools in a manner which worked properly with Rockbox. I'll grant you it's a complete PITA though.
linuxstb is contemplating putting this feature into ipodpatcher. Might be a while though :)
