After days of write delay errors…. Followed Mikes instructions to the letter. I used HDD Low Level Formattool, then formatted the ipod through my computer also, ran a disk check, pulgged in the ipod, itunes did a restore of the ipod, and back to normal. Thanks Mike.

Spot on mate, 80g classic ipod hdd was corrupted. I think I had connected it with the lock on and when it didn’t respond i pulled it out and caused the damage.

Didn’t work, still got the error. Why does it give me an error while low-level formatting?
