HI GUYS,

The Problem is the same with me too. I did try the link provided below the red 'X' on screen. I tried restore and format apart from erasing. None worked. The persons in iStore (Chennai, India) askeed me to change with a new piece of same @ ~$200. Is it all that I can do with mine. I did neglect the clicking sound of the hard disk even during the warranty period. Its tough now to keep my iPod idle. I am in no mood to invest on ipod classic when Touch is around. If anyone can help me come out of this problem it would be of great help.
