Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / February 2007Would a 20GB motherboard work with a 60GB iPod?
Subject says it all; I have a 60GB hard drive that I'd like to put together with a 20GB board. I do have the appropriate sized back plate which would fit the larger drive "innards" but wondered whether there would be some problem with the board recognizing all of the data/ songs on a 60GB drive. I've replaced 20GB drives with 40GB drives the same way, with no problem, but wondered about this. Would the motherboard normally be able to adopt this size drive? (Note, I am dealing only with a monochrome iPod screen, 4th generation). Thanks for any help! Paul > Subject says it all; I have a 60GB hard drive that I'd like to put > together with a 20GB board.

Generally unlikely to work - some boards include information relating to head maps, bad sector maps, etc, that relate to the specific (i.e. that drive alone, on this planet) information that cannot be transferred. Sometimes possible through transfering the ROM chip to a working board - but normally not so easy. Email me with particulars (all details on label) and I'll see if I can guide you...

I think the board Paul is referring to is the iPod board, not the board from the drive itself, which it sounds like you're talking about. Tim |
