Guest Dirty Protest Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think I have a bad sector on my ipod that means itunes wont let me write after about 30G. I tried filling it to the damage, then I slowly pasted a 700MB file to the drive hoping it would plug the bad bit, that didnt work. So has anybody any idea how I could write a filler file to the bad bit and leave the rest. I tried google but the worlds as clueless as me.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a creative vision: m before it crapped out on me. probably one of the best mp3 players i've ever had. now i have a cowon d2, and those are excellent as well.

Bubba69 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 So finding and writing to a specific piece of drive, no. I can change the question if that will help with the answers =) lol, that seems pretty hackish, but it actually might work! . Are you absolutely sure the problem is a bad sector? It seems like the drive would have a way to flag the bad sectors off when you do a reformat. what platform are you using? Also what generation ipod?

Bubba69 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 oh yeah, try doing a factory restore. That is supposed to remap bad sectors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
