Druaga, are you doing alright? You sound kinda dead inside in this video :( Not sure if you were making a more serious video, or if you're tired or what.
You need a 1.8" IDE to CF adapter to make it work properly. as stated on Rockbox's own wiki: www.rockbox.org/wiki/CFModGuide#A_50_45Pin_HDD_45_62_CF_Adapters They will NOT work willy-nilly on the hard drive ribbon cable. you NEED an adapter. Also note that once you do this with an SDXC to CF adapter, you will most likely only be able to use a Mac to move files to it. this is a limitation of the iPod firmware for the PC formatted iPods.
Yeah I was predicting there was some kind of interface needed to get a CF device to basically work emulated as an IDE HDD especially in this case. linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11861 he'd need one of these basically if drauga ever wanted to try something like this again
The Kingspec works great on my 4th gen iPod though, I popped a 64gb SSD into my 4th gen and replaced the battery and it now loads songs slightly faster.
I'm just gonna assume the 2nd gen iPod's motherboard can't handle a 128gb hard drive. The 4th gen recognizing a 64gb makes sense, though. Maybe try installing a 64gb SSD in the 2nd gen?
I somewhere in service manual for iPod 2Gen i read something like this " Caution: Do not try to replace harddrive larger than 32GB, otherwise iPod will not detect hard drives larger trhan 32GB " If i find it i will insert a link
So you were saying about the iPod 2G being tough and then you unplug the SSD after the sled turned back on? I've got an old AOpen MX6E+ motherboard that I pulled the Diamond Viper V550 AGP video card out of while it was still running. Apparently Windows XP doesn't understand the ACPI type of that computer and so when I turn it off I have to go through the "it is now safe to turn off your computer" screen. I was doing some benchmarks of graphics cards and I hadn't realized it was still on when I unplugged the video card and PS/2 cables until I went to go put another card in and saw it was still on. Both the system board and the video card still work flawlessly, along with everything else. My point being, old stuff is much more reliable than the bullshit we have now. Drop your iPhone 6S+ and it's ruined, drop your Packard Bell 386, your goddamn toes are gonna hurt like hell, but your old-ass PC is gonna be just fine.
"Drop your iPhone 6S+ and it's ruined" Off a cliff or into water then maybe. Otherwise the worst you can expect is a shattered screen as the result of an unlucky direct face-down drop, and although that's pretty bad, the device certainly isn't ruined and screen/glass can be replaced.
Transferring images with Apple computers isn't hard. I took a 160GB image and put it on a 1TB drive and it just created a partition that was 1TB in size with the same sized data. You can also go backwards in size, as long as the amount of data isn't over the capacity of the new formatted drive.
You are missing the Partition Map Scheme. Your original iPod hard drive used Apple Partition Map (APM) (14:37 in video) while the SSD came with Master Boot Record (MBR) (16:52 in video). So you have to select the SSD in disk utility, and partition using APM. After that you also need to re-format it using HFS+, and restore the disk image onto the SSD. That should give it a go.
I guess you've completely given up on this project at this point, but if you haven't used the KingSpec for something else yet you could try to utilize an unofficial firmware called Rockbox, there is a port for 2nd generation iPods.
Wanted to just say that the first part of this video was my introduction to you and that I do not regret clicking on that thumbnail. I'm also strapped the fuck in for the part 3 from the looks of the top comment!
plop it into a linux machine then just `dd` the ipod hdd onto the ssd. It won't "clone an image", but take every single bit on the hdd and write it onto the ssd one by one. If that doesn't work I don't know what will. for your reading pleasure en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
No. he fried it because he put an CF-card in a mini-IDE connector. That will never work. Some of the newer iPods are using harddrives with an CF connector, that is why the packaging said compatible with iPod. But not with all iPods. And definitively not with the iPod 2nd generation.
Druaga, I was absolutely entertained the whole way through both these videos for the simple reason I feel your pain. Not all our tinkering works out. I fried an AT power supply once and nearly killed myself. Subscribed and thanks!
as someone who knows a bit about this, the Firmware of the iPod first Gen is FIXED to the Type and Size of the Drive that was in it and cannot be made different. So unless something has changed or someone has made an adapter that is JUST for this, you are SOL
Some pretty sick tunes you had at the end. I heard you can install a compact flash drive into an iPod Mini 1st and 2nd gen. I personally like to keep my iPods as stock as possible though. Even though you failed these videos were still entertaining.
Glad I revived my iPod Photo 4th gen, I thought the battery was shot because whenever I unplugged it it would cut off. I took a look inside, reconnected the battery and voila! I got this thing for very cheap too (15 dollars)
*Hears about this video, comes to part 1 and sees there's 2 parts* "THERE'S TWO PARTS?" *Comes to part 2 and sees there's 3 parts* "THERE'S THREE PARTS? AND THEY'RE ALL HALF AN HOUR LONG? This is heavy."
There's a very important thing you haven't considered: the partition map. I highly doubt the 2nd gen iPods use GPT (shown as GUID Partition Table in Disk Utility), since Macs began to use it after Apple switched to Intel in 2006; I also doubt they use MBR, as it's mainly used by Windows. I think you should choose to create an Apple partition map, which is the one used by older Macs (and possibly iPods).
This is basically a re-run of my experience with a fifth generation iPod earlier this summer. The CF-SD adapter had to be completely disassembled just to get things to fit, and even then, it didn't work and only ended up being an expensive waste of time, as is the case with most Apple products.
+Druaga1 If you have one, try installing an SSD in an iPod Classic! As those still have mechanical drives but they are newer and use much newer software
I've used a program called Partition Wizard with great success. It recognizes most file systems including Mac file systems. It can even resize and optimize the partition for SSD. It clones partitions perfectly.
I'm guessing that the reason because the CompactFlash card got "fried" is because the iPod is throwing out too much power to it since it thinks it's an actual harddrive, and I don't know much about SD cards/compactflash cards, but as you either said in this or the previous part, harddrives take up more power compared to an SD card and CompactFlash card, so I think it just took too much power and overheated and got fried because of that. Maybe if there's a way to decrease that power then the Compact-to-SD-adapter might work. Or maybe you could try a different brand of adapter. That could work too.
I'm thinking the iPod cant recognize 128GB because it's too large. Maybe 64 or even 32 gb would work. And I don't think you can plug a CF card directly into the IDE bus like that without an adapter. Power is supplied through that cable to power the hard drive. And I don't think the CF card needs or uses that power. So you were sending 5v to something that couldn't handle it, and poof! Magic smoke. Don't be discouraged. The best of us have let the magic smoke out on several occasions. Try again. Use a 1.8 to CF adapter. Or partition the 128 SSD into two smaller 64gb partitions. Not sure how the iPod will see a drive with two partitions. May only see the first one. But it's a start. Good luck! Love watching your videos!
I wonder if you'd have better luck on a newer generation of that iPod. Would still be pretty cool to have. Glad to see the video ended on a positive note.
Don't you dare give up. Don't you dare. This must become a crusade of your ingenuity and righteousness, you can do this, I believe in you. We all believe in you.
lmfao lmfao this video was the best funny tech vid i ever seen . your a clown but really enjoyed the laugh all that effort and money put it i feel bad but love the vid thanks for the laugh best tech funny vid lol cheers but really would like to see this project work cheers bro i really enjoyed it :)
Great video, sorry for how disappointing it turned out. I'm suspecting that the iPod needs to have the Apple Partition Map scheme enabled, which can be done in Advanced Options of the Partitions tab in Disk Utility. If you partition the iPod's SSD using this, you may have much more luck - I'm highly doubtful that such an old iPod would recognize the MS-DOS MBR-style partition map included with the SSD. Also, you should take a break if you feel like it. You sound quite unlike yourself in the start of the video, maybe tired. Don't feel that you need to deliver every week if you're no longer enjoying it. We love you and your videos either way.
Do your research, I heard earlier gens won't like sd cards. I think on r/iPod you can find answers. (If you ever want to try it on it)

+Druaga1 check what partition table is used by the ipod. Apple partition Map, MBR or GPT. I guess your mac fromated your ssd with GPT partition table because at 17:36 i can see the partiton your formated has the name disk2s2 for a short time. disk2s2 means it is the third disk's second parition. Disk formated by gpt always have a 200-300 mb large partition called EFI formated to vfat which is always the first partiton of the disk in your case disk2s1. It is always hidden, you would not see normaly. Your ipod picks up that partiton and fails because it is formated to vfat. Use one of your linux machines with gparted to find out more about the iPod's hdd
I can give you a Hint. For my own experience fixing iPods, You have plug the iPod then make the "Combo-buttons". I'm petty shure that with the SSD you could make it work if you first plug the iPod. One more thing, you can use ANY version of iTunes, the iTunes will detect it and make it work, the partition don't matter, the iTunes will detect a iPod and will try to restore it. I spect that this will work! GOOD LUCK!!
So glad I bought a refurbished 3rd gen iPod Touch 64GB, because you can use High Efficiency V2 m4a AAC files on that thing and so I've squeezed my entire music collection (912 albums, 35GB) on it and I still have 20GB free! I expect I'll never fill that. Use newer technology and higher compression!
It's sad but early IPODs will only work with Apple drives. (Just like old 68k MACs, Apple drives on IPODs have secret commands for checking if it's a Apple authorized device) I used to have a pair of IPOD mini units. One of them was 1st gen. I never got a CF card to work with it. Only would accept microdrives which had the Apple logo in them. It's a firmware check for Apple HDDs on the IPOD logic board. 2nd gen IPOD mini worked great with CF.
The iPod 2nd gen uses the ARM7TDMI core which is 16-bit. That means that it simply cannot read the entire 128 GB filesystem due to technical reasons. It can only support up to exactly 32 GB. I think that the disk imaging tool is automatically expanding the image so that it covers the whole 128 GB. Something could happen if you partitioned that "SSD" to a 16 GB or 24 GB Mac OS partition, manually copied the files from the image over to that partition, and then left the rest of the space completely empty. Also don't forget Apple Partition Map this time.
Dragua created another timeline called Draguapoint and when he cameback to today he realized that not everything is the same. For example Harambe is married with Morgan Freeman now
Hmm, to SSD or not to SSD a PowerBook G3 Pismo? Got a few Transcend 32GB IDE SSDs, debating putting one in my PowerBook G3 Pismo (already have one in my Windows 98SE T23 :D)
hey! I got a similar setup working a few years ago. With 3rd or 4th gen ipod (non color display), a real CF card and a little adapter board, can't really remember why that was, There was a little difference in between the pins in a CF and 1.8" IDE I think. All I did was installing the CF into the adapter, into the ipod and then plugging it to my computer and downloading the firmware and making iTunes install it to the ipod. Worked like a charm
The pins on the card reader start at the left side so put ipod connector to start at the empty pins holes go to the right. Clone the ipod hdd to the card reader. then try it.
I had the same problem you have when you installed the SSD, but i was using a compact flash card. When you have the SDD with the icon file after the apple logo you should plug it into the mac like that. No need to go into disc mount mode on the ipod (hold reset and hold left and right). It worked for me just plugging it in with the icon showing on screen and itunes saw it as an ipod that needed to be restored. Im not sure if putting it into disc mode caused the problems, but I would say try without it, because I didnt do that and itunes found it just fine, and reinstalled the firmware and it works like gold ! Its using a 32gb compact flash card (not an adapter for SD card) but I imagine it should work the same.. maybe not but who knows
Hey Druaga! Try this!!! it looks like you haven't changed the partition map of the ntfs volume on the ssd, so it probably still is partitioned in Master Boot Record. Try to partition the ssd in disk utility with Apple partition map. This is how the iPod HD showed up in Disk Utility. Then clone back the image of the iPod HD again. The iPod can't boot from an hfs+ volume on Master Boot Record or GUID for Intel Maps. If that doesn't work try playing around with Mac Os X journaled or Journaling disabled.
I actually used the same Kingspec 128 SSD in an iBook clamshell and had countless problems with it. I switched to a cf-miniIDE adapter and it worked right away. I think the problem with the other cf card was that the internals are NOT CF! lol They are IDE, which explains the "extra" pins and overheating. Try it with just a cf-ide adapter if it will fit.

anybody else think this was part 1 at the start until he actually brought out the ssd?
Yea
I did at first, but then I read the description and everything made perfect sense.
ᏳᏫᏜᏡᎦᏈᏜᏫᏳ no i had already watched part 1, and it looked like it was exactly the same video so I thought i clicked the wrong one
I was thinking he Uploaded the wrong one and just Name was changing :D
I thought it was part one at first and also again when he brought out the compact flash adapter
I've seriously been waiting for this.
Same
*The saga continues*
Druaga, are you doing alright? You sound kinda dead inside in this video :( Not sure if you were making a more serious video, or if you're tired or what.
"I may be high but I want to die"
A second take is always more to the point than the first.

are you sure the disk is IDE, it was read through an CF adapter....

i do think that is the power consumption problem~
ssd power consuption is lower than a normal hdd~
i think the ssd may fried~@@
iPod 2gen doesnt support drives larger than 32gb 😃😃
Gee, that explains a lot.
srsly
That's what I was thinking, do you have a source?
I somewhere in service manual for iPod 2Gen i read something like this " Caution: Do not try to replace harddrive larger than 32GB, otherwise iPod will not detect hard drives larger trhan 32GB " If i find it i will insert a link
+Juraj “Linus” Hudák Im pretty sure it supports up 128GB
Super Hardcore Nightmare mode....
Well so that is whats past Nightmare one life only on DOOM.
So you were saying about the iPod 2G being tough and then you unplug the SSD after the sled turned back on?

Agreed with everything. But my 6s survived even too much
newer parts usually are better protected and i have lost more old parts than new
Finally PART 2!!! Great video man, keep it up!
On the next Druaga1, He'll be installing an SSD into A TH-cam video lel
Really amazing! Great work Druaga1, very informative and entertaining to watch. Seriously such a great video. Subbed for life now, that's for sure.
kingspec ssds are usually awful quality, just get a refund
I got a Samsung SSD
Somebody else that’s not the issue

love your vids mate keep up the long videos it's so much better than tabbing up loads of short videos from other people!
I think you need a 50pin IDE to CF adapter simply because of voltage reasons.
Wanted to just say that the first part of this video was my introduction to you and that I do not regret clicking on that thumbnail.
I'm also strapped the fuck in for the part 3 from the looks of the top comment!
plop it into a linux machine then just `dd` the ipod hdd onto the ssd.
It won't "clone an image", but take every single bit on the hdd and write it onto the ssd one by one. If that doesn't work I don't know what will.
for your reading pleasure en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
Mac has the dd utility too :)
I agree
This is exactly what I've been meaning to comment, but being the lazy person I am, I didn't. (Also Druaga's Pain is my Fetish)
+Vectrex haha yeah basically
Mac runs on the same root, Linux, it is just a different Distros.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!!1 *BTW, i think you plugged the CF adapter the other way again ;)
Yes, I'm sure that's why he fried it.
No. he fried it because he put an CF-card in a mini-IDE connector. That will never work.
Some of the newer iPods are using harddrives with an CF connector, that is why the packaging said compatible with iPod. But not with all iPods. And definitively not with the iPod 2nd generation.
Maybe try installing RockBox on it.
that might work
Druaga, I was absolutely entertained the whole way through both these videos for the simple reason I feel your pain. Not all our tinkering works out. I fried an AT power supply once and nearly killed myself. Subscribed and thanks!
as someone who knows a bit about this, the Firmware of the iPod first Gen is FIXED to the Type and Size of the Drive that was in it and cannot be made different. So unless something has changed or someone has made an adapter that is JUST for this, you are SOL
This ending music was actually very cool. Good work there.
watching this made me frustrated. I WANTED IT TO WORK
SkippyTrippy me too
Oh man I was just thinking of electroboom when you fried the adaptor... haha, that sucks man but keep trying, I wanna see you succeed at this!
"... the most depressing episode of Druaga1-" *Likes.*
I also think I got more depressed waiting for the outro music.
Some pretty sick tunes you had at the end. I heard you can install a compact flash drive into an iPod Mini 1st and 2nd gen. I personally like to keep my iPods as stock as possible though. Even though you failed these videos were still entertaining.
1 song, a tout le monde by megadeth. you're my best friend now.
These videos are really fun to watch and informative to boot. Keep it up dude!
Glad I revived my iPod Photo 4th gen, I thought the battery was shot because whenever I unplugged it it would cut off. I took a look inside, reconnected the battery and voila! I got this thing for very cheap too (15 dollars)
*Hears about this video, comes to part 1 and sees there's 2 parts*
"THERE'S TWO PARTS?"
*Comes to part 2 and sees there's 3 parts*
"THERE'S THREE PARTS? AND THEY'RE ALL HALF AN HOUR LONG? This is heavy."
If it's of any consolation, I subscribed to your channel on the basis of viewing this two part :p
Druaga, enough to scoff at the iPod, better give it to me. With SSD :D
There's a very important thing you haven't considered: the partition map.

Browningate “5th gen ipod is very easy to upgrade with an iflash adapter and micro sd cards”
these video are really relaxing to watch for some reason
Your song at the end gives me an Amiga Lotus Turbo Challenge type of vibe
my favorite part was listening to your awesome music.
I love your vids and music man. Keep up the good work
I can't believe you plugged it in upside down AGAIN after doing that the first time
+Druaga1 If you have one, try installing an SSD in an iPod Classic! As those still have mechanical drives but they are newer and use much newer software
Have you noticed the old drive has a partition table style of Apple Partition Map!!!! Usually empty drives come with MBR (Master Boot Record).
This is one of the best made videos I've watched on this channel.
Your dedication in this series made me subscribe.
When you wait until 2 in the morning hoping that this video would come out
I've used a program called Partition Wizard with great success. It recognizes most file systems including Mac file systems.
It can even resize and optimize the partition for SSD. It clones partitions perfectly.
This should actually be a cautionary tale of what happens when you don't enough research.
fact: Apple so hosts the iPod restore service to this day and the latest version of finder still recognizes really old iPods
Wait this is part two but it seems to happen before part one while happening after it I'm confused
Disk utility isn't actually that bad if you know how to use it, which seems like you do now. Cool video man!
I'm guessing that the reason because the CompactFlash card got "fried" is because the iPod is throwing out too much power to it since it thinks it's an actual harddrive, and I don't know much about SD cards/compactflash cards, but as you either said in this or the previous part, harddrives take up more power compared to an SD card and CompactFlash card, so I think it just took too much power and overheated and got fried because of that.

Good luck! Love watching your videos!
keep it up with your projects man ! some day you win and some day you lose, but that's is what life is about ;)
druaga you mastermind XD, you broke everything XD
I wonder if you'd have better luck on a newer generation of that iPod. Would still be pretty cool to have. Glad to see the video ended on a positive note.
This is the most entertainingly miserable tech/troubleshoot video I have watched :v :D
Thumbs Up, and BOL for future endeavors
I had no idea you make music. Cool!
when i saw that System Volume Information folder, i just KNEW it was NTFS XD
No way you fried second adapter, this reminds myself frying 3 usb drivers before I realize that usb port was bad.
Don't you dare give up. Don't you dare. This must become a crusade of your ingenuity and righteousness, you can do this, I believe in you. We all believe in you.
Great video Duraga! And don't be sad. :(
I have one of these iPods the 10GB model and it still detects and restorable on the latest version of iTunes on El Capitan I was amazed at that
You ,sir, get a like just for frying that second CF adapter. Lol
Just as I get drunk again, since part 1, part 2 comes out. Good times.
This is like trying to read, 'War and Peace'...
Thanks for reminding me how thick the old ipods were lol
I'll have to stop playing Pantera to celebrate the birthday of Dimebag Darrel, to watch this. I'm down.
you can always try it on an iPod video , they are easy to open unlike the iPod classic , and is new enough to work on most things
The better way to go about this is to clone all sectors from the Ipod HDD to the SSD. That way every aspect of the HDD is there and not just files.
lmfao lmfao this video was the best funny tech vid i ever seen . your a clown but really enjoyed the laugh all that effort and money put it i feel bad but love the vid thanks for the laugh best tech funny vid lol cheers but really would like to see this project work cheers bro i really enjoyed it :)
DjDynamitenyc Well he is still better and honest than Linus Tech Tips and others.
I'd say you redeemed yourself by placing it *inside* the dock at the end.
It's an everlasting struggle with ipods. Druaga1 more like Durage1
when you started playing music at the end of the video, I honestly thought the ipod was broken but it was just the song.
maybe it doesn't have an ssd, but it's still pretty dang cool to have such a tiny hdd to fit in your pocket
This reminds me of making OS boot disk with USB's some work and some don't for absolutely no reason
I loved that ending, shit man, that song is so fucking awesome
give us part 3, we want part 3 !
just kidding, don't do part 3 lol ... =))
druaga is like a mad scientist
why is everyone so excited about this video, i mean, really, he's just upgrading the disk space xD
I was really hoping you'd this thank God
Great video, sorry for how disappointing it turned out.
I'm suspecting that the iPod needs to have the Apple Partition Map scheme enabled, which can be done in Advanced Options of the Partitions tab in Disk Utility. If you partition the iPod's SSD using this, you may have much more luck - I'm highly doubtful that such an old iPod would recognize the MS-DOS MBR-style partition map included with the SSD.
Also, you should take a break if you feel like it. You sound quite unlike yourself in the start of the video, maybe tired. Don't feel that you need to deliver every week if you're no longer enjoying it. We love you and your videos either way.
I said this on the first video. And I'll say it again. But please try installing rockbox onto the ssd.
Thanks for video. I've just bought 1st gen 5gb iPod in shitty condition. I hope your recommendations helps me in restoration.
Do your research, I heard earlier gens won't like sd cards. I think on r/iPod you can find answers.
(If you ever want to try it on it)
+Druaga1 check what partition table is used by the ipod. Apple partition Map, MBR or GPT. I guess your mac fromated your ssd with GPT partition table because at 17:36 i can see the partiton your formated has the name disk2s2 for a short time. disk2s2 means it is the third disk's second parition. Disk formated by gpt always have a 200-300 mb large partition called EFI formated to vfat which is always the first partiton of the disk in your case disk2s1.

Use one of your linux machines with gparted to find out more about the iPod's hdd
lol "i am not shitting you", i thought the ipod was playing that at first haha
This has been quite the journey
I can give you a Hint. For my own experience fixing iPods, You have plug the iPod then make the "Combo-buttons". I'm petty shure that with the SSD you could make it work if you first plug the iPod. One more thing, you can use ANY version of iTunes, the iTunes will detect it and make it work, the partition don't matter, the iTunes will detect a iPod and will try to restore it.
I spect that this will work! GOOD LUCK!!
So glad I bought a refurbished 3rd gen iPod Touch 64GB, because you can use High Efficiency V2 m4a AAC files on that thing and so I've squeezed my entire music collection (912 albums, 35GB) on it and I still have 20GB free! I expect I'll never fill that. Use newer technology and higher compression!
It's sad but early IPODs will only work with Apple drives. (Just like old 68k MACs, Apple drives on IPODs have secret commands for checking if it's a Apple authorized device)
I used to have a pair of IPOD mini units. One of them was 1st gen. I never got a CF card to work with it. Only would accept microdrives which had the Apple logo in them. It's a firmware check for Apple HDDs on the IPOD logic board.
2nd gen IPOD mini worked great with CF.
The iPod 2nd gen uses the ARM7TDMI core which is 16-bit. That means that it simply cannot read the entire 128 GB filesystem due to technical reasons. It can only support up to exactly 32 GB. I think that the disk imaging tool is automatically expanding the image so that it covers the whole 128 GB. Something could happen if you partitioned that "SSD" to a 16 GB or 24 GB Mac OS partition, manually copied the files from the image over to that partition, and then left the rest of the space completely empty.
Also don't forget Apple Partition Map this time.
Not sure if that mac image utility actually copies the whole disk and hidden partitions but you could try clonezilla just to make sure.
Druaga: iPod you want some SSD?
iPod: No.
Druaga: But, iPod, it's really good.
iPod: NO!
Druaga: iPod, have some.
iPod: NO!!!
Druaga: But, iPod, it's low power
iPod: *BUTTFUCK!!!!!*
Dragua created another timeline called Draguapoint and when he cameback to today he realized that not everything is the same. For example Harambe is married with Morgan Freeman now
Hmm, to SSD or not to SSD a PowerBook G3 Pismo? Got a few Transcend 32GB IDE SSDs, debating putting one in my PowerBook G3 Pismo (already have one in my Windows 98SE T23 :D)
hey! I got a similar setup working a few years ago. With 3rd or 4th gen ipod (non color display), a real CF card and a little adapter board, can't really remember why that was, There was a little difference in between the pins in a CF and 1.8" IDE I think. All I did was installing the CF into the adapter, into the ipod and then plugging it to my computer and downloading the firmware and making iTunes install it to the ipod. Worked like a charm
Nice to see that the only song on there was a Megadeth song.
The pins on the card reader start at the left side so put ipod connector to start at the empty pins holes go to the right. Clone the ipod hdd to the card reader. then try it.
I had the same problem you have when you installed the SSD, but i was using a compact flash card. When you have the SDD with the icon file after the apple logo you should plug it into the mac like that. No need to go into disc mount mode on the ipod (hold reset and hold left and right). It worked for me just plugging it in with the icon showing on screen and itunes saw it as an ipod that needed to be restored. Im not sure if putting it into disc mode caused the problems, but I would say try without it, because I didnt do that and itunes found it just fine, and reinstalled the firmware and it works like gold ! Its using a 32gb compact flash card (not an adapter for SD card) but I imagine it should work the same.. maybe not but who knows
Loved it! More broken parts! The depression.
Hey Druaga! Try this!!! it looks like you haven't changed the partition map of the ntfs volume on the ssd, so it probably still is partitioned in Master Boot Record. Try to partition the ssd in disk utility with Apple partition map. This is how the iPod HD showed up in Disk Utility. Then clone back the image of the iPod HD again. The iPod can't boot from an hfs+ volume on Master Boot Record or GUID for Intel Maps. If that doesn't work try playing around with Mac Os X journaled or Journaling disabled.

I actually used the same Kingspec 128 SSD in an iBook clamshell and had countless problems with it. I switched to a cf-miniIDE adapter and it worked right away. I think the problem with the other cf card was that the internals are NOT CF! lol They are IDE, which explains the "extra" pins and overheating. Try it with just a cf-ide adapter if it will fit.
