Lost Rockbox Capabilities on Upgrade of Compact Flash

The saga continues.

Received a used ebay IPOD and it powered up, but the wheel didn't work ... cut a deal with the seller for 1/2 refund in exchange for keeping the IPOD for parts.

Turns out the wheel wasn't the problem, but the controller for the wheel on the board must have been bad. Oh well. At least iTunes recognized the IPOD.

I installed the 32gb Compact Flash on this IPOD just to test the Rockbox updater ... the updater saw two IPOD devices and wouldn't update ... so I manually copied over the software. Success! Except the wheel still didn't work.

So I moved successful 32gb to another board and ... failure

I moved the successful 32gb back to the first board ... failure

I replaced the 32gb with the original HD and no joy ... but I received a message IPOD needs to be restored would you like to? Of course! ... failure

Any thoughts folks?

I have yet another IPOD on the way from ebay.

Purchased yet another IPOD mini 2nd Gen from ebay. Installed the newly FAT32 formatted 32gb CF and Rockbox and everything works just fine.

Installing the newly FAT32 formatted 128gb gets me the sad folder icon (folder with exclamation point).

The 128gb seems fine with the CF USB reader. It shows being formatted as FAT32. Files copy back and forth effortlessly. It just won't get recognized by the IPOD.

So I've bricked two IPODs in this attempt to use the 128gb and I'm back where I started, with just 32gb.

One of life's lessons, or does anyone have any other thoughts?
