    • Opening the iPod can be challenging; don't get discouraged if it takes you a few tries to get the iPod to open.

    • Insert a plastic iPod opening tool in the seam between the white plastic front and metal back of the iPod. It helps to hold the iPod at top and bottom as shown and squeeze to help pop out the edge. Once you've inserted the tool, run it along the seam to free the five tabs holding the iPod together.

Where can I get a HDD that will fit/work in this model? 1st iPod 5GB capacity. Larger capacity would be nice but not needed.

Kevin. Theydon't make hard drives for it for anymore, but they make adapters for CF card and SD cards. Of Course you can put whatever size you want in it

David Robitaille (robitaill3) - Réponse

CF adapters do not work in 1G iPods. You can find old 1.8” drives on eBay, but they must be single-platter drives. The largest I know of is 40GB.

1st and maybe 2nd gen sync and charge only over firewire and need a hard drive. I tried a comact flash and a zif ssd in the format of the newer hard drives and it finds the drive, but wont format. It stops half way. The newer ipods (3rd gen and up) that sync over usb can use solid state alternatives (2nd gen is the same ipod with a bigger drive and a touch scroll wheel). If you can find a zif ssd smaller than 32gb it might work, but dont forget about the zif to 50 pin adapter.

ZIF SSD KingSpec ZF18-32
