Going to get an iPod, what software do I need?

Do you have Show hidden folders turned on in windows?

Yessir, I go to iPod_Control>>Device, and the only things that are in this folder are two untyped files called "clock" and "Preferences".

All that my ipod_control/device folder has is sysinfo and preferences....what is in the clock file?

This is all it has in it when I open it in notepad....

@ À

Do you know how I could maybe rebuild the sysinfo file? I have a black 30 GB iPod video, if that helps.

Maybe just create a new one and put something like

Code:

buildID: 0x02108000 (2.1) 
visibleBuildID: 0x02108000 (2.1)

in it.

Maybe lower numbers to force it to upgrade.
When the ipod updater runs it should recreate the file anyway.

When I run the updater there is only a restore option...

Rossco? Anyone? I even posted this on the apple forums and nobody is responding to me.
