My iPod 4G hard drive just started acting up. I managed to salvage it from a friend's garbage can, and all it needed was a folded up piece of paper to add some pressure onto the hard drive. Recently I opened it up and it seems everything got wiped by some strange miracle, and now iTunes can't restore it, disk mode does nothing, manual formatting through Windows doesn't work, diagnostic mode does nothing. It connects fine to the computer and iTunes recognizes an iPod, but it says it can't reload the firmware. I tried reloading firmware through iPod Wizard but nothing seems to stick. I'm tempted to toss a couple magnets onto the hard drive and see if I can reload the data. Anyone have any ideas so I don't have to waste a hard drive (and free iPod)?
