I assume it has a standard ATA/PATA/SATA Bridge?

I've not really cracked open the iPod before but I assume you can take the HD out and mount it inside a 2.5 H.D.D Enclosure

Well are you sure the hard drive isn't what is broken on the ipod?

Don't even take the hard drive out. Just open up iTunes and check the box that says Enable Disk Use or whatever it says, and you can use it like an external hard drive.

From what you just described there, it almost sounds like the hard drive is what's bad in your ipod. That's just what I understand from what you said.
