New iPod Hard disk
My old iPod’s hard drive is broken. Here in the Netherlands a new hard drive for a iPod is about 70,- euro’s. Now on eBay (again) I found one for 10,- US dollars! Incl. shipment it’s 25,- dollars. Real cool. Now I have a iPod nano and a 20BG ;) If you are looking for a iPod disk, just browse eBay! I bought mine from this guy, will tell here if it arrived and if it worked. It is a used disk, so I’ll have to test it, but I’ve got hope ;)
Update: (23 jan 2007) It hasn’t arrived yet, but is has been send. I think that Dutch customs has it now… :(
Update: (24 jan 2007) It has arrived! Long live ebay! Tomorrow I will install it and check if it’s working or not. There is hope again!
Update: (25 jan 2007) I’ve installed the new one, but it doesn’t work. Have to test the disk more…

Hey.
I know this post is a bit late, I randomly came across it while searching for how to install the firmware on a new iPod hard disk.
I’ve got the exact same problem as you, except obviously it isn’t working because there’s no firmware on the new disk.
Did you ever find the solution? If you did, please let me know by the e-mail address provided.
Thanks

I have bought a new iPod nano, cause al the disks I bought got the same problem after some weeks. But to get the firm ware on the disk, just run the latest Apple iPod update. That should install the firmware automatically. Good luck.
