DATA ABORT

--- Quote from: soap on March 03, 2009, 10:57:07 PM ---Don't format. Do the disk scan. You don't need to remove your files to do this. The only files which will be lost by this process would be ones which are already hosed.
This will take no intervention on your part and will take no time, no burning, no nothing.

Okay, I suppose I should've clarified my position a little...
Backups - Even if everythign is working fine, you should _always_ have a current backup of your important files.
Sacndisk - I, personally, backup the files on an external drive before the scandisk. Sometimes the files come out okay, and be fiddled with, other times it's better to have the borked file than nothing. 'Course, depends on the file type. BUt yes, the files can stay on the iPod. The big benefit of Scandisk is it marks bad blocks as bad, so they don't get used later...
Reformat - Yes, this is the big hammer approach. But there cold be something else screwy on the HDD. I have had some odd problems where the only fix was a reformat. Rare, but it has happened to me.

It would be good to know which rockbox build he uses.
I.e: is it the ipod 5.5g 30gig or the 60/80gig version ?
There are reports of refurbished players which had a 80gig HD but were really a 5.5g 30gig version.
And as the 60/80gig version has more ram, it might easily cause data aborts if you dont have the ram.

Hopefully he'll come back with those details, and work with us...

Okay. Make sure you check the backup _before_ you reformat/restore. :)
