For the past 2 weeks my ipod mini has been down. I plugged it into my computer, and disconnected it when it was done, it had erased everything off of it. So i plug it bac in, i get a folder with a ! on it. I've tried everything i could think of and whatever was on the apple site and forums for discussion. I figured out how to get into the diagnostics and did a hard drive scan and it failed. So i think i need a new hard drive, anyone know how to replace an hard drive and such? I'm not an apple person, any other ideas i could try to fix it instead of buying a new hard drive?
Wasajigifying -[ was - a - jig-i-fy-ing] - the concept of not knowing what the hell your saying.
if it's under warranty apple should replace it. if not, your screwed. It's probably cheaper buying a new one. Make sure next ipod is minus the mechanical hard drive.

you could go away from ipod and try the creative zen. I've read good reviews and when I need a new mp3 / video / recording toy thats what im going for.
