NCC10281982B Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I cannot believe what I just did. Vista got hosed. So I was happily running xp setup 5 minutes ago. In the partition screen in setup I saw a partition I had never seen before. I did the bone headed thing and deleted it. Then I just happened to look over at my Ipod, which was in its dock. The screen was flashing a bunch of messages. Yep I just formatted the HD on my Ipod with windows setup.!@#$%^&*()_ N00b does not ever begin to describe this event. I think I'll go hit myself with a stupid stick while my harddrive (the correct one) formats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerm Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Down load a piece of software called PC Inspector & File Recovery and you may be able to recover it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Didn't Apple warn people about using Vista with Ipods? : j/k Anyways perhaps you can have Apple rma it? I am not sure about it though but it's worth a try especially since I doubt you will easily find someone with a backup partition of their ipod.

computergee Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Does the iPod not work anymore? It should still boot into disk mode, try holding the center button and the menu button and the iPod should reboot. Than hold the center button and the play button. It should go into disk mode. From there you should be able to run a firmware update and restore your iPod back to its original state. You won't have all your songs, but hopefully you had those all backed up.
