Hi tdrive, I have the same problem right now...have you solved it???

jmsunlinenet:
I have identical problem and would be interested to know if anyone has solved it. Bootsplash bar comes up partially, then disk drive goes "whrr, whrr, whrr..." and that is it.

I tried the recovery process, hot fix etc., but it does not show the disk in Windows Explorer, so that seemed like a dead end as I still cannot reload the firmware or read the hard drive.

I think maybe there is a physical disk problem.

Interestingly I looked at replacement disks. The hard drive is Toshiba MK4006GAH. Same disk drive as i-Pod. However it seems that you can get a refurbished F40 player on e-Bay for only a bit more than the cheapest drive I could find ($100 vs $70 inclusive of shipping).

Would be really interested if someone can crack this problem without replacing the player or drive.

Maybe somebody on the forums or IRC has an extra hd for the gigabeat

Be careful - different iPods use different style disks.  Check out the replacement disk page on the wiki.
