hi guys!

my ipod is now showing the sad ipod icon, ive tried resetting it and forcing disk mode and it wont do any of it, so im presuming hard drive failure!!

anyway when i buy my new one will it just upload all my purchased music? or will it erase it? or do i need to do anything special to it to stop my files being deleted?

many thanks
simon.

thanks all!

i hit my ipod on the desk hard and it now works again, the hard disk spins up and doesnt make a dodgy clicking noise at all!

dont spose it'll last though so may just buy another!
