How to I get data off of this damaged iPod.
I have 2 damaged ipods that a customer has requested for me to retrieve her songs. I have tried many options and I cannot get this data off.
I have tried transplanting the hard drive into a working ipod classic. I have tried putting the drives into an enclosure. I have tried reading the drives on windows, mac, and linux. Either the drives show up as not initialized or it asks to be restored in itunes. The closest I have gotten to get data off of one is on a windows pc it showed up as a storage device but when I tried to drag files off of the ipod it crashed and rebooted. I have tried a few data recovery programs and either the programs didnt work or it crashed . Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Here are images of the hard drives i am trying to recover data from
The enclosure is a 1.8-inch ZIF/CE(IDE 40pin) Hard Drive Enclosure Case With USB2.0 Cables from amazon
I really need to get the data off of these drive. Please Help

@j0vian what are the HDD make and model? Do you know what computer (Mac, Windows etc.) was used to copy the files to etc.? What enclosure do you use? These will not work by transplanting into another iPod. The moment you do that, it wants to restore the drives.

I'm having the same problem too-moved the drive into an enclosure but I cannot see anything on the drive?

The 120 gb drive is a Toshiba model mk123gal
The 80 gb drive is a Samsung model HS081HA
I believe a windows computer was used to put the data on the ipods
