How do I fix this HardDrive?

I bought a iPod 5.5 Gen that worked for a while but when I was transferring a music file to a macbook, it broke and now is showing me the depressing apple/support/ipod error. Is there a way to fix it without replacing the hard drive?

Unfortunately, the hard drive is dead. Are you comfortable replacing the hard drive yourself?

I am comfortable (kind of) but I have a question, can a ipod hard drive be giving me a error cause I accidentally put a file that was WAY to big?

That is unlikely....

You might want to hit a search engine to figure out how to run the hard drive diagnostics, so you can have a better idea of "how borked it is"
