  • Download this file and extract it somewhere
  • Download 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 support.
