    Mga peeps tulong naman oh. Here's what happen, my computer has two internal hard drives split into four, C: D: E: F: but my second hard drive failed so it's only showing C: and E:. Problem is, I got all my music, videos and pics for my ipod stowed in Drive D:, I know for a fact that if I connect my ipod it will auto scan for those files and if it didn't find the drive, it will auto delete all my files. Is there a setting in iTunes or in my computer that'll let me keep those files in my ipod? even if those files are gone in my computer? I just don't want to start all over again. Lesson learned, next time I'll use my external drive to back-up. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Download copypod. It will let you save your music files from your iPod before iTunes delete them.

    Oo nga eh, and I already checked if there are any loose connections pero wala naman. Other than that I don't know how to trouble shoot a failed hard drive.

    change your i-tunes settings from auto to manual.

    meron pong software for backup ipod, pede kitang bigyan sir, but hindi kasya sa email yun software.

    also check mo din po setting ng harddisk mo, baka meron lang nagawalaw.

    Thanks for all your replies, I just started fresh and manage to save about 70% of my music and lost 30% and saved 100% of my videos, music videos and pics . It was just time consuming .

Another iPod question
