My son's 4th gen iPod classic has started giving him a "click of death" which I'm assuming means the hard drive inside has died. Is this something he can fix easily? Or maybe upgrade to something like a CF or SD card instead? Ideas?

i know that click well, it is most likely, do you also have the sad iPod?

Check out this to see if the fix is something that you'd be likely to attempt. If it is, you can get a new hard disk from iFixit, eBay, or any number of other sources.

At first it was a bad folder error, but it has since turned into the sad mac. We tried reformatting the disk, but we get nothing at all anymore.
Looking at that repair site, we are definitely up for the repair. We are looking at some 1.8 IDE to CF adapters at the moment, but are wondering if we could also use a CF to SD adapter in the mix as SD cards are bigger and cheaper...

Eh, I'd just use a CF card. The way I see it - the more adapters, the more to go wrong.
