If your
hard drive goes rogue on you, you can??™t listen to your tunes,
in which case your iPod becomes a very expensive (if stylish)
keychain ornament. Replacing a bad hard drive gets you back
into the groove. We show you how in this chapter.
This chapter also marks the first opportunity for you to put
your iPod through a little elective surgery. Even if your hard
drive is functioning perfectly, you might consider replacing it
anyway with a newer, higher-capacity drive. It??™s often cheaper
than buying a brand-new iPod. In fact, if you don??™t mind
getting your hands dirty, you can upgrade your iPod??™s storage
capacity beyond the highest factory rating. How??™s that for a
personalized lifestyle gadget?
