Error when reading ipod bootpartition

[daggerlee]

I have a ipod 4G greyscale. When I try to read the bootpartition, it gives me this:

Bad boot sector signature
Part    Type   Start Sector    End Sector    Size (MB)
   0    0x90     -1073742848    2147481775     1572863
   1    0xbf           9412    -1073733437     1572863
   2    0xfe     -1881116380    -1881101421           7
   3    0x00     -2139062144    -2139062145           0
[INFO] Seeking to sector -1073742848
[WARN] Seek error - reading -1073742848 sectors instead

and doesn't move in terminal. bootpartition.bin is creaed but is 0kb. Any ideas?

That looks like a HFS+ formatted ipod.  You need to convert to FAT32 before you can install Rockbox.
