iPod video - Disk mode fails, sector size problem. PLEASE help!
torne:
Lba48 is needed if your drive is over 128GiB (137GB), but enabling it when it's not needed is fine. Most drives other than the original disk in the 80gb 5.5g work fine if you just *remove* the max sector size definition and will work faster that way.
Arj:
torne, thanks for your replies. They have been very helpful. Your last comment prompted one more question: you put remove in quotes, so that suggests you don't really mean to remove the definition. Maybe you just were implying that we can comment out that definition? I'm just surprised by this suggestion and am willing to try it, but want to be sure I understand it. I think you are saying we could use the standard build and just comment out the size definition and it should be good for most drives (80 - 128GB). Correct?
@eltonart: did you ever get back into disk mode? If not, did you try leaving the hold switch on and plugging it into a USB port?
Llorean:
Those are not quotes. They're asterisks, which are often used to denote emphasis in text-based communication when options such as "bold" aren't available (and a habit some people get used to, so that they do it even places like these where bold is available).
torne:
Yeah, sorry, I was on my phone and I couldn't be bothered to find the square brackets to type the bbcode for bold. You can either comment it out, or change it to just #undef instead of #define (with no value). With no value specified it basically disables the workaround to specially handle different sector sizes, and assumes the hard drive will take care of it, which almost all hard drives *do*, and they do it more efficiently than our code does.
Arj:
:-[ Ugh, need to get my eyes checked! Sorry about that, they are indeed asterisks and, yeah, I would have seen that was for emphasis. Again, I appreciate the helpful responses folks. Very much appreciated!
