The reason the SSD linux machine would not format the SD card to HFS or HFS+ is because it did not have the hfsprogs package installed.

[@FLUFFSQUEAKER]

And now...install a iPod HDD with a CF to SATA adapter in a laptop

[@Fee.1]

lol that would be funny, he would need a IDE to SATA adapter though not a CF to SATA adapter, the original drive is IDE, Compact Flash cards use a subset of the IDE command set hence their relatively easy compatibility, that's why he needs the fancy active adapter as opposed to just a plain old CF to SD adapter for his iPod

[@brandontechnerd]

Or just boot from the HDD on a PC with CF reader

Druaga the next time you use GParted click on the "View" menu and click on "Supported File Systems", that will open a window with all the supported file systems on the Linux installation. On the "Required Software" column you have the name of the packages you have to install using apt-get. For hfs file systems it appears to be the "hfsutils" and "hfsprogs" packages.

[@2geekproductions]

Windows don't like to partition usb/SDcards over 64GB, been this way since forever. You can use Diskpart or download a software to format it to fat32.

[@crimsun7186]

You need to install HFS support for gparted to be able to do things, as gparted is just a front end to a series of command line partition tools.

[@blubbspinat9363]

Maybe the battery needs a little bump up. Overstored batteries tend to be deeply discharged but more or less fine. with a small current limit of about .05C and 3V, slowly bump it up to 3V. After that it should charge normally in the iPod. The reason why you can't select hfs(+) is because the appropriate hfs tools are not installed by default. Also 1337 likes is quite cool!

[@kickmedavid]

Hello, I would suspect that by putting the compact card in upside down you may of accidentally run power through a data wire thus killing the card. This could also explain the heat of felt when taking out the card adaptor and SD card.

Did Microsoft actually remove the option to format as FAT32 in Windows 10? ;) (or does it still work via Command Prompt or something)

[@TheComputerGuy96]

No, they didn't, but their "format" utility only allows you to format volumes smaller than 32 GB as FAT32, despite FAT32 supporting up to 2 TB.

[@HEADSHOTPROLOL]

+reinaertdevos The guy before you literally said that exact same thing but more exact and straight forward man why did you even

[@ariss3304]

maybe he didnt refresh his page

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

There is a 32 GB "limit" to FAT32 but it's pretty stupid: that's what they set in Windows 2000 and never bothered to update it. You can actually create larger volumes in Windows 98: up to slightly less than 128 GB. Back in the day Microsoft felt the need to cripple FAT32 support to promote NTFS but no such thing was really needed because NTFS has compelling features. Gparted can format larger volumes, up to the full 2 TB. I imagine you'd be able to find systems with difficulty reading said volumes, however, since >32 GB probably isn't well tested.

[@cyrilthefish]

I think the biggest issue with large FAT32 partitions was the individual filesize limit. A max 4GB filesize is a big problem when DVD disc images are ~4.7GB Got caught out by that in the past a few times when fiddling with old tech. :D ("why can't i back up stuff to this old hard drive???" hehe)

DRUAGA WHAT THE HELL? wheres part 2? :(

[@skyediann3399]

Fun fact for y'all, I figured this out from owning a Dell Latitude X1 which uses the same style hard drives as these older iPods. The connector that the motherboard uses is 40 pin ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector, going to a 1.8 inch IDE Hard Drive, however the hard drive has a compact flash like attachment. As these drives were standardized, by purchasing a 40 pin ZIF cable - since most 40 pin ZIF drives don't use the compact flash connection, it is possible to connect up to a 128GB 1.8" ZIF SSD (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/128GB-KingSpec-1-8-inch-ZIF-40-pin-SSD-Solid-State-Disk-SMI-Controller-MLC/182983101570?epid=129600902&hash=item2a9aa48c82:g:lZAAAOSwgmJXyTim) to one of these iPods, and it's native and doesn't require any adapters. But yeah, there's native SSD's for these older iPods, and they work in Latitude X1's too! Or you could just use iFlash which is probably cheaper.

[@Zeloverevolution]

Hey bro, if you're having trouble getting the stock os to load up on the ipod, try installing RockBox, It's an alternate operating system that doesn't require itunes at all. Got it running on my Ipod Classic and it's brilliant.

[@turkyandgravy]

I'm jealous. I really want one so that I can convert my music library to Opus or Vorbis and convert my wav files to flac so that my music can be patent free and well compressed.

[@Zeloverevolution]

They are amazing devices indeed. I wouldn't part with my classic for anything.

[@MrAssassinscreed2fan]

+Ryan Mattox patent free ? lmao, y tho?

[@MrVitalic85]

Rockbox fraked my ipod classic 160gb. It didnt wanted to charge. After restoring it with itunes everything was fine.

[@Zeloverevolution]

[@Meowsic]

Actually everything was decent! The Mac OS was the slowest, especially load time but still usable once I had upgraded the PCI/SSD to a much faster one. The built-in 8gb (or 16gb?) PCI stick SSD was awful slow, but the 64gb I replaced it with definitely sped things up.

There was a port of uClinux for ipods back in 2004, ipodlinuxinst repository on sourceforge still has all binaries

[@ryl-ie]

I don't think flash storage was as popular in 2001.

[@segaprophet]

5gb of Flash memory was insanely expensive in 2001 - a 5gb HDD made the iPod affordable.

[@everenjohn]

Look at spoilt kids wondering why technology is so terrible back then. It was fucking back then LOL

[@televisionandcheese]

??? Technology then was pretty good. The pentium 4 wasn't so good though. Didn't see that the ipod thing was from 2000. Makes sense to have a hard drive now.

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

There were solid state media players at the time. They had capacities of 32 - 64 megabytes, enough for 5-20 songs. The iPod Classic was retired in 2014, so, perhaps surprisingly, platter drives lasted quite a long time in the marketplace. The 160 GB platter drive on the highest capacity model is unmatched by any solid state model, though the iPod Touch 128 GB released a year ago comes close. However, people with that level of stroage needs are probably better off getting an Android phone and storing their collection on Micro SD.

[@Anubisviech]

One thing i didn't understand: Why did you put up with a potentially less compatible system by using adapters? I would have used a big CF Card instead. Less risk of not working and (i assume) even cheaper.

[@OskarBlomkvist]

You could have put an 1,8 SSD in it :P

[@maggiethegamer1271]

The reason Windows didn't allow you to format it as FAT32 is that MS limits max drive size to 32GB

[@frankiesparkes3947]

Scarletia osu! Was it a Hard Disk or Solid State Drive, because those normally come pre-formatted with NTFS

[@nathan-yg7iy]

Frankie Sparkes external hdd; formatted with ntfs from factory but i use os x as well, so had to format in a fat filesystem. i used exfat and that gave me errors every few days, so i changed to something and it worked fine - and i think i changed to fat32. i'm using ntfs with a driver atm on os x though, so no problems so far.

[@frankiesparkes3947]

Scarletia osu! You can format drives larger than 32GB with other software, GParted springs to mind, but it's not recommended, mainly because of the file size limit that the File Allocation Table has, hence the fact that Windows simply won't do it

[@nathan-yg7iy]

Frankie Sparkes ah there's my mistake, its windows that won't do it-- i did the formatting on os x.
