Repair Video Repair all formats of corrupted or faulty videos and HD movies from any storage without losing quality. To run Check Disk:.

This is the place where all connected drives are listed. Check Disk will now try to find and fix errors on the iPod drive. If the iPod is still not repaired at this point, the next step is to check the iPod drive for bad sectors and physical damage. Bad sectors are indicators of physical damage on the drive. Dropping the device while the hard disk is spinning is a common cause of bad sectors. To check the iPod for bad sectors and physical damage:.
This scan can take a very long time to complete in some cases hours. After the restore music would not always copy correctly to the iPod, some times returning with a "Windows Delayed Write Failure", also some songs and videos would not play sometimes requiring a restart reset , sometimes they would return me to the menu straight, and sometimes they would play fine.
Also the hard disk would make a lot of fuss just to select certain songs or videos, I would even have trouble booting the iPod or detecting in iTunes. These things led me to believe either: The hard disk was cactus; The hard disk had bad sectors; Or there was a file system error on the hard disk. When the iPod got really bad it wouldn't properly detect in iTunes, iPod Access, Anapod or Windows, it wouldn't restore in iTunes, and I couldn't access it through windows explorer even in disk mode as it claimed the disk or the control folder had corrupted.
Using some diagnostic tools I discovered the problem was nothing more than a simple and easily fixed FAT32 filesystem error. The problem is that the iPod uses a FAT32 filesystem which is a 'kind of unstable' but not yet redundant filesystem we used back in the Windows 98 days, I assume it uses this filesystem for compatability reasons as pretty much any pc with Windows 98 or above can access FAT FAT32 stores files in chains, linking one file to another, and branching out like a tree, this system is very easily corruptable due to anything from bad shutdowns or yanking the dock cable of the iPod during copying.
SOLUTION: 1: optional Check your iPod by reseting it and when the apple logo first appears hold the middle select button and the rewind button to enter a diagnostic mode. Then press the menu button to enter manual testing. Scroll down to IO and press select, then select the hard disk option, then select the hard disk specs option.
Read the data to check your hard disk is detected as the correct size 30Gb in my case , if it isn't then reset the iPod and repeat this step until the hard disk detects as the correct size.
Now click on the tools tab and run Scandisk Check Disk. In the scandisk box that opens tick both check boxes fix automatically and surface scan and click run, this will take a while but when it's done go to iTunes and eject the iPod, unplug it from the computer, and reset it.

Dec 27, AM in response to odsmart In response to odsmart I created this guide because iPod corruption seems like a huge problem affecting and frustrating many many users and without a clear solution, just browsing these forums is proof of that.

They can neither be added to an iPod nor transferred from it. Should you want that facility you may need to temporarily install a copy of iTunes If needs be you can make a separate library to work with this build and iPod games or iOS apps, then reinstall the current version of iTunes and reconnect to your regular library when ready.
