Help with Video Ipod 30 Gb ......

[Hut]

Hi Everyone :-D
I just got a new Ipod Video 5th Generation 30 Gb
Itunes just sux and is restricted to MAc and Win so i wanted to install Rockbox right away,
but it doesn't seem to like my windows restored ipod :-/

ipodpatcher v0.5 - (C) Dave Chapman 2006

[ERR] ioctl() call to get sector size failed, defaulting to 512
[INFO] Reading partition table from /media/ipod/
[INFO] Sector size is 512 bytes
[ERR]  Bad boot sector signature


but it seems to be Fat32 and i read somewhere that restoring a win ipod with itunes should do the trick ....

Sorry i know this sort of Problem comes up very often but i can't solve it by looking at other peoples threads----....

HELP, i'm going Nuts here ^^

THX, Hut :-D

Where did you get your copy of iPodPatcher from, exactly?

here, why?
and thank u very much for that quick reply :-D

Just making sure you're using the latest one, as the version number (0.5) of the software actually spans several revisions unfortunately.

Further misfortune is the fact that I can't really help you with this problem. I'm not exactly sure what's going wrong here.

You should use ipodpatcher with the whole device, not an mounted partition, as "/media/ipod" suggests you are doing.

Does "ipodpatcher --scan" show your ipod?
