I have an original iPod, first gen, and I want to replace the hard drive. Before I do this, I want to be sure I know what I'm doing, so will I need to reinstall the iPod software on the hard drive? If so, how would I go about doing this? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

You would do it through iTunes. Just restore it. It works because you're only replacing the storage part, and not the identification circuit parts, etc.
