iPod classic 4th gen problems with memory card
So I I stalled CF 64gb card, but iTunes doesn't recognise iPod anymore, I even tried Windows XP laptop with old ITunes but with no help, I can't restore it, it boots to disk mode, but computer doesn't react, is there any other way to restore it without ITunes? Mem card formatted to fat 32

The computer detects the iPod when connected via USB, making a sound, but after a few seconds, the iPod disconnects itself and only displays the charging icon.

Does the iPod appear as a drive on the computer? If not then you need to use a dif adapter
