Can you replace an Ipod Classic's (2007 80gb) hard drive with an Ipod mini's (2nd gen)?

Can you replace an Ipod Classic's (2007 80gb) hard drive with an Ipod mini's (2nd gen)? Or possibly even the Ipod Nano 1g's flash one?

 

Did search for this a bit, can't find much, I just don't wanna spend all my effort to open an Ipod Classic and find out that its not compatible.

 

Many Thanks, even a link would be fine.

Wait...... Why the heck would you want to do this?

Also I haven't heard of anyone successfully replacing a classic's hdd, though that doesn't mean it is impossible.

Those with flash memory use an IC whereas the classic uses a hard drive.  Not quite the same thing, though it is possible for you to replace the 80GB drive with a 120GB or even 160GB one, if I am not mistaken.

The mini's a hard drive too, do you reckon that I should take the effort?

 

The hard drive on the classic died, so I just wanna change it.

I guess it might work if that hard drive is pin compatible with the classic's motherboard.
