Re: Defrag Problem

Hello Steven,

I had the same problems (skipping), I did a scandisk
first and then the defrag worked, But it took forever,
like 6 hours to do the defrag, If the ipod is full it
will take longer.

I have an original (Mac Version 5gb) reformatted to
Fat32. Actually the scandisk and defrag did nothing for
me, after I re-formatted all my song lock-ups went away.

Also, in the past (before re-formatting) I noticed if I
fill the iPod with less than 170megs free I would get
more lockups, So I played around with freeing up some
space and found that keeping 200 megs free seemed to
stop the lockups.
