emCORE on iPod Classic is DEPRECATED, please use the Rockbox bootloader instead.

Make sure that you have .NET Framework 3.5 or later installed
Download winusb_driver.zip and extract it somewhere
Download bootstrap_ipodclassic.exe as well
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 - click here for a how-to video. 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 Windows to ask you for a driver for this device
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 support.
