I wound up sifting through some old archived logs and found a convo that led me to the file indexes. I downloaded the installer-ipodclassic.ubi file and it reformatted and everything so that's a step forward. Now I plug it into the computer it says I have to reformat the hard-drive before I can use it, the options it gives me are NTFS and exFat. What do I format the allocation unit size to? Quick format or no?
Thanks again! Happy Oktober!

The Apple iTunes program running under Windows will reformat it to the proper fat32. Windows XP no longer will format a drive larger than 32 gigabytes. The iTunes program will. If you really want to manually format something larger as fat32, try this from Ridgecrop:

Simply formatting an iPod as fat32 won't work (it's called an iPod restore. iTunes should automatically pop up a window asking you to restore. If iTunes doesn't pop up the option, you can select "restore iPod"). You have to use the iTunes program found here:
