O.P. iPod, hosed & screwed
My iPod doesn't work anymore. I formatted it in Linux (I know, bad idea) and now all it does is freeze. I can't get the iPod Software installer to install on my machine, can anyone give me some advice and/or the iPod Software installer directory in a zip? Thanks :)

Out of curiosity have you tried to remove the partition in Linux then reformat the partition as FAT32 under Windows?

No I wasn't using iPodLinux. I reformat the iPod as FAT32. The little folder with an exclamation mark appears, I plug it into the computer, computer recognizes it, and screen turns into "Do Not Disconnect". I try updating it (using another computer) and the software never installs correctly, and if I unplug the iPod, it just stays at "Ok to Disconnect". It appears to be in "Disk Mode", but I can't get it out.

To get the iPod out of Disk Mode hold down the Menu and the Select simultaneously with a bit of pressure. Once you see an Apple logo appear. Let go.
