Bad boot sector signature?

(1/5) > >>

sinister:
I have gotten to the stage of where I have to backup my apple's firmware. So I did the command it gives me in the manual and I get 'Bad boot sector signature". Well I searched through the forums and found to avoid this I had to restore my iPod through iTunes. I did and I had to go through everything when I first bought my iPod giving the iPod a name etc. So after it was done restoring, it automatically uploaded my songs/videos etc. Not sure if I was supposed to let it do that, but anyways I waited for it to finish uploading my songs and videos. Then I tried the same process to adding rockbox to my iPod but when I got to adding the firmware again but I still got "Bad boot sector signature". What did I do wrong? Was I suppose to restore my iPod or  did I just restore it wrong? Thanks..

linuxstb:
Do you have a Mac-formatted ipod?

sinister:
yes I do.

linuxstb:
Then you need to convert it to FAT32, as described in the install instructions.

sinister:
What does fat32 to do ?
