    It will require a fresh install, just as if you built it anew, after you add memory to the open slots

    It was difficult. Very difficult. And no, i did not take pictures, unfortunately. But i assure you, it can be done - and it is why i switched to using the Tarkan quad and the Samsung micro sd cards. With that configuration I can use the 3000 mah battery.

    One of my 2TB ipods is built with the Quad and the extenders. It was a struggle to get them folded into the case!

    keep in mind I use the 1T cards with the Tarkan Dual. If you use a Quad, you can go with the four 512Gb. For this I used the Green EVO select

    I did not have good luck with the Lexar SDs. Did not work well in any configuration.

    Well, I tried the 5G (Even though I was already convinced this was a limit imposed outside the iPod). It failed. I wondered if my cards might be counterfeit. I installed them in two separate iPods, one 7G and one 6G. I successfully loaded the 7G to about 1.6T and the 6G is loading now and is...

    Yes, I sacrifice the dual boot feature, but all in pursuit of maximum storage (!) I’ve had very few disc corruption issues. The limit is present when I try to reformat in Windows. I didn’t check the device manager but when I attempt to reformat with AOMEI there is nothing additional to...

    I didn’t try a 5G, but I seriously doubt it would make a difference. RockBox and the Tarkan adapters make it possible to reach such large capacities.

    The storage limit on the 6G can easily be overcome by reformatting after an iTunes restore. ITunes limits the 6G to 128GB, but if you then install RockBox, then reformat and recopy the RockBox directories you and exceed the iTunes imposed limit. 7G classics will format all the way up to what...

    I haven’t asked Tarkan - I try to start with the forum first. But it is on my list.

    It’s been a while since i posted on the thread, but i have some info to share today. I bought four 1T Sandisk MicroSD cards this week, loaded them into a Tarkan Quad, and went through the normal steps to build a Classic 6g TeraPod. Ipod would only read about 1.7T. Huh. I reformatted the cards...
