CRC errors are not good. Usually this is an indication that you have a bad firewire connection, but since you haven't had it before the drop, I'd say something bad has happened to the drive.

Have you done a disk scan on the iPod? Do a reset, then at the Apple logo, press the REW, FF, Menu and Center buttons. I disk scan icon will come up w/a progress bar. At the end you should get a Check mark (good) or a sad iPod icon (bad).

I'll bet something happened w/the drop.

Otherwise I'd do a restore. Don't tell me you use the iPod as the sole sourse of your tunes...not a good idea.

[dmbpod41]

is there anyway i can save a list of the songs that are on there now so i can get them back afterwards?

You may want to ask a buddy If you can store them on his/her computer. Might be worth a try. Good luck
