How can I check my iPods Hard Drive for Errors like running Scan Disk?
The iPod has a Disk Scan utility that can be used to check the hard drive. Follow these steps: Do a Reset – Press the Menu + Pause/Play buttons until the Apple logo comes up. At the Apple logo, press the REW, FF, Menu and “Action” (the center) buttons. The iPod will begin to go through a disk scan. At the end you will be presented with a Disk icon with a check mark or a sad iPod icon. If you get a sad iPod icon you need to send your iPod in for repair.
