[03:38:01] <ipod6genuser_tom> hello
[03:38:26] <ipod6genuser_tom> I have an Ipod classic 6th generation
[03:39:07] <ipod6genuser_tom> emcore r856 fails with an ATA error *PANIC* 8000000c
[03:40:50] <ipod6genuser_tom> I am thinking this probably just means I have a bad hard drive, any thoughts?
[03:50:51] <ipod6genuser_tom> tried r708, same error
[04:08:25] <ipod6genuser_tom> this guy has the same problem

[08:49:10] <tom-ipod-classic> It's been such a long time I had to get a new username
[08:49:50] <[Saint]> Apparently we need to make the content in the topic clearer, do we?
[08:50:43] <[Saint]> No one sits here waiting on the offchance that someone might have an issue.
[08:51:02] <[Saint]> If someone can help you, they will. This may mean waiting for extended periods.
[08:51:04] <tom-ipod-classic> uh, right
[08:51:12] <tom-ipod-classic> I gather that
[08:51:18] <tom-ipod-classic> hours or days though?
[08:52:52] <tom-ipod-classic> Well, I was going to leave my e-mail tom8085@hush.com
[08:53:01] <[Saint]> That relies entirely on how long it takes for someone who knows the answer to become available to answer it.
[08:54:18] <tom-ipod-classic> No problem, sorry to be a hassle.  Seeing no replies made me wonder if people checked this often.
[08:54:27] <tom-ipod-classic> or ever...
[08:54:46] <tom-ipod-classic> So thank you for speaking up.
[08:54:52] <[Saint]> They do, yes. But, they also have outside lives and/or live in completely different timezones.
[08:55:08] <[Saint]> And, frankly, this project is dying.
[08:55:24] <tom-ipod-classic> It appears that way
[08:57:53] <tom-ipod-classic> Thanks for your help
[08:58:30] <[Saint]> Am I to assume that this device works as intended with the Apple firmware?
[08:58:52] <[Saint]> I would've answered, had I known the issue. But...alas.
[08:59:23] <tom-ipod-classic> no it is nonfunctional
[08:59:38] <tom-ipod-classic> i get an apple icon and nothing
[08:59:50] <tom-ipod-classic> it seems to go into disk mode occasionally
[08:59:52] <[Saint]> Oh, well, then yes. Its almost certainly a bad HDD.
[09:00:16] <[Saint]> Disk Mode doesn't actually require the disk to be functional, funnily enough.
[09:01:09] <tom-ipod-classic> yes that explains a lot of the weird issues with mounting i've run into
[09:02:55] <[Saint]> To verify that, you could try booting into diagnostic mode and seeing what the SMART info says, but I highly suspect it'll come back with bullshit and/or be unable to actually find the disk.
[09:03:10] <[Saint]> reboot; menu+<< == diagmode

[09:12:08] <tom_> had to plug in my laptop
[09:12:28] <[Saint]> Disk Mode doesn't actually require the disk to be functional, funnily enough.

[09:12:31] <[Saint]> reboot; menu+<< == diagmode
[09:12:53] <tom_> the ipod doesn't actually respond to those inputs
[09:13:05] <tom_> it just seems to enter diskmode after a few minutes
[09:13:12] <[Saint]> Oops, select+<<
[09:13:33] <tom_> ah ok will try that
[09:15:10] <tom_> not getting anywhere, but i know the click wheel is functional
[09:15:46] <[Saint]> Then , apparently more than your HDD is toast.
[09:15:55] <[Saint]> That key combination should always work.
[09:17:02] <[Saint]> except for emCORE'ed Classics...but, you've not gotten that far, nor been able to.
[09:21:29] <tom_> replace the mobo then?
[09:22:58] <tom_> it's interesting; right before powering off completely it seems to start to load some part of the software because i get the command from the native operating system to repair it using itunes
[09:23:48] <tom_> It would be recognized by itunes on my windows machine briefly while it displayed this message and then go back to complete dysyfunction
[09:24:01] <tom_> *dysfunction
[09:25:42] <[Saint]> That's basically just iTunes speak for "Oh noes! An iPod that's in a state I can't verify or is unknown to me! Restore!"
[09:25:55] <[Saint]> The original firmware doesn't need to be functional for that to happen.
[09:26:04] <[Saint]> (if it did, it would somewhat defeat the purpose)
[09:27:00] <tom_> right
[09:28:06] <tom_> but it means my little device is at least aware enough to realize that there is something wrong...  well.  I took it apart because something i read on some forum somewhere suggested resetting the ATA connector
[09:29:18] <tom_> not sure why I or the forum poster thought that would work but it didn't and i broke the screen... but that's when the message began being displayed, which is more than it was  doing before
