    The exclamation point could mean a few things. One may be a broken hardrive but your iPod seems to work sometimes so that may not be the case. I'd suggest restoring the firmware [if you deleted your copy you can find it at Apple's website]

    Yeah, if you have the 5g Video iPod then I would suggest upgrading to v1.1.1 firmware. There has been no reported problems yet.

    The iPod's problem is getting a little more serious it sounds like the same thing that happen to my laptoms hard drive is about to happen to my iPod. My laptop was purring littirely, and then it just crashed and i got it checked they said the HDD was useless. So now my iPod isnt purring its Meowing cuz of its size....

    Only one good thing about this whole situation. I bought the Best Buy insurance when i purchased my iPod...so its covered.

    I set up this forum to save time and the effort of having to walk a few blocks. But that just might not happen.

    Yeah, I'd go back to Best Buy and get a new one. ;-)
