Yesterday I installed a iFlash ATA1 board in my iPod but keeps showing a folder icon and a dead iPod.
(I've tried every drive format such as FAT32, exFAT and Mac OS Extended journaled and even tried using a SD card from a different brand that would work in the iFlash boards)
I put the HDD back in the iPod it booted normally so I knew that my cable wasn't broken.
When I tried to put the iFlash board back in the iPod it still didn't work and the HDD doesn't work anymore.
