Hi,
I just got my hands on a 5th gen video ipod and hem, I unzipped the file onto my ipod as mentionned, downloaded the ipodpatcher binary and it damn don't work. I tried it many many many times on a Linux Machine and a Windows XP machine, and always the damn same error.
Here's the Linux output:

Okay, looks like a 30GB iPod video, so that's good... but I'm trying to figure out why it failed.
I see it's already formatted as FAT32, so that's good. But...
Ah! Just to ask: since you have access to a Windows box, did you run iTunes and enable disk use? That may help you out.
Keep us posted!

Yes I did. I can't see why people don't turn this option on or why it's not built in the OEM firmware... I mean..
So yes, I did turn this option on.

Can you make sure you have your ipod plugged directly into your PC - and not into any sort of USB hub.
If you have a second iPod cable, I'd try that too - faulty cables / USB ports have been known to give this error.

This is one of the things I tried out, still don't work...

I don't have a second one. May it result in slow rates of the usb 1.1 ports? Windows try out was on a usb 2.0 port though...
