iPod 5.5 MK2431GAH (240GB) upgrade, PC = Linux

<< < (2/2)

Misspell:
A small follow up, drive came in.
Opened up my iPod following this guide and installed the new drive. Booted up iPod, was greeted with a funny looking cartoon character, iPod restarted by itself  then displayed the a error stating drive needed to be restored, while looking at that screen plugged iPod into a windows machine with iTunes already running, followed the screens and iPod was running. Shut it down, restarted in Disk Mode (Play + Select), pluded it in to my linux box, installed Rockbox and everything is OK.

Don't have time to play with formatting via linux, but thank you the link above. Maybe down the line i will toss the old drive back in and go through the linux format just to see how it goes.

Another happy camper with an oversized drive and RockBox.
