hi there,
my 40gb third generation ipod is currently in disk mode and connected to my computer. it says ok to disconnect but it is not showing up in itunes OR windows. i have tried resetting it only to have the screen switch from the apple logo to the folder with the exclamation mark. since it is not recognized by itunes i can't restore it either. i have tried everything on apple's support to no avail. i'm thinking it's a hard drive malfunction, but i wanted to make sure. my only options seem to be either to repair it for over $100 or buy a new one unless i'm wrong about the hard drive... any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
