I hope someone can give me a push in the right direction here. I have windows me and a firewire card on my dell laptop. I did a restore on my Ipod which went fine. It was formatted for a mac. Then I went and downloaded ephpod. Download of that went fine. Now here is where everything is going bad. First off the Ipod only shows the apple logo and then a picture of a wire connecting to the computer, it then goes blank. I plug it into the firewire card and it does the same thing logo, picuture of a wire connecting to comp then blank screen. Ephpod does not see it and I can not see how to make it. I know Ephpod is working since the computer can see the Macintosh disks and other stuff I have. So it can see a macintosh drive. So does anyone have an idea of what may be going wrong.
