JollyGood: details on how to kill a process

* Download [http://files.freemyipod.org/misc/winusb_driver.zip this] file and extract it somewhere
* Download [http://files.freemyipod.org/misc/bootstrap_ipodclassic.exe this] file as well
* Make sure iTunes is closed
* Kill "AppleMobileDeviceService.exe" using the task manager
** Open the task manager (press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC)
** Click on the "Processes" tab
** Choose "AppleMobileDeviceService.exe"
** Press the "End Process" button
** Press "End Process" to confirm
* Connect your iPod to your computer
* Make sure the hold switch is not locked
* Press and hold the menu and select buttons for between 10 and 15 seconds (The iPod will show an apple logo after about 5 seconds, keep holding the buttons until it seems to turn off completely)

The display of your iPod should now stay black, and a new USB device called "Apple Recovery (DFU) USB Driver" should connect to your PC.

* Wait for the driver installation to complete
* Open the device manager
* Find the "Apple Recovery (DFU) USB Driver" device (Should be in the "USB controllers" category)
* Do a right click on it and choose "Update driver"
* Always choose the bottom-most option (don't search on windows update, choose everything manually) until you get to the list of available drivers
* Choose "All device types" and click "Next"
* Click "Have disk"
* Click "Browse"
* Navigate to the folder where you extracted the winusb_driver.zip file, and choose the "winusb.inf" file from it
* Click "Open"
* Click "OK"
* Click "Next"
* Wait for the driver installation to complete
* Run bootstrap_ipodclassic.exe

Your iPod should now turn on and connect a 64MB drive called "UMSboot". If it doesn't, please ask for [[Contact|support]].
