I put my friends 16 gb itouch on ZiPhone bc it worked great for my phone and it hung during the install process and keeps looping now and wont proceed any further- all i get is:

"BSD root: md0, major 2, minor0"

on the screen.... anybody PLEASE help me get out of this!!!
i tried restarting it and it just jumps back into it after displaying all of the initial ziphone stuff.... itunes AND the ziphone software wont recognise it at all and i am about to have a heart attack bc i dont really have $300 lying around to buy him a new one!

just copy and paste that into ur browser

if you dont want to watch the video this is what you do
(have your ipod connected to ur pc with the usb cord)
1.hold down the home and power buttons until the ipod powers off.
2.let go of the power button but still hold down the home button
3. continue to hold down the home button, unplug your ipod from your pc and plug it back in, all while holding the home button.
4. then you should see a connect to itunes sign on your ipod touch, so connect to itunes and restore it
5. all done and ur pod is saved!!!
