Thanks, I hadn't thought of this. But I can see the drive OK and format it with Swissknife so I guess it must be a basic disc anyway.


Jumbuck - we are thinking along the same lines I was looking into the MBR this morning. No sign of the word ipod in there (I was thinking maybe it had an IPOD mbr). I've done a killdisk on the drive before, so that mayb have cleared the MBR anyway.

Tonight I might try copying the MBR from my 20gb drive onto the 30gb, or using XXClone to clone the 20gb drive onto the 30gb. And maybe I'll try the 1.29k firmware as that's what most people seem to be using.
