Hello all!
It's been a long time since I wrote here, but I always followed the
mailing lists and the repository activity. All you are doing a really
good work!

Recently I decided to revamp my old good iPod Video, suffering of some
electrical problems, upgrading some components like battery, HDD/CF card
and trying to apply the DiyMod to enhance the sound quality, as reported
at https://www.instructables.com/DiyMod/ and different other articles on
internet.

The good new is that the iPod started, after battery replacement, since
I left the present one discharged for a long time, booting Rockbox
marked April 2012!!! The bad new is that I cannot mount the HDD on the
PC via USB: the display on the player shows the USB plug, a new
partition appears on the PC, but I cannot access the content.
Nonetheless, when I unplug the cable, the player crashes with "cannot
mount partition" or something like that.

I bought an adapter card to plug the 40 pin ZIF HDD directly to the PC,
I see two partitions, I thing the first one is for the Apple firmware,
the second one is exFAT, I imagine for the storage, but I still can't
see the partitions content.

My question is: has anyone already used a HDD/SD conversion card from
scratch, I mean without clone the HDD content, but doing a fresh install
of Rockbox?

Thank for any hint!
