Can't reformat the firmware

[sc0tt_92]

This morning I was trying to put the touch firmware into my 5.5g ipod video. But when I was using Ipod Wizard to write the firmware in my iPod it get freezed so I made the mistake and manually unplug the iPod. It restarted in Disk Mode but I spend all the morning trying to write the original firmware which I backep up first but it doesn't work. I've tried manually via Ipod wizard and via iTunes. Using iPod Wizard it shows the message: Error writing firmware! Code: -1,22, 47466496 or the same but the last number is 13836800.Using iTunes it shows: iPod "iPod" couldn't get restored. It happened an undefined error (1439).

What Can I do? Is there any way to reformat the iPod? Is my iPod bricked? It worked perfectly but now I can't restore it to his original firmware.

Im not too sure about this but if nothing else seems to be working try deleting the partion in disk manager

PS: Not too sure about that so dont use that as anything other than a last ditch attempt

PSS: Warranty?

Im trying now to do the complete format on Windows.Because maybe a quick format doesn't work. I don't know if I have any warranty. Its a 5.5g iPod but I don't know how long is the apple warranty. Thanks for your advice but please help!
