    I constantly re-charge my ipod everyday when i put it into my ipod fm tuner in the car. I go though those recharging cycles extremely quickly. My battery holds a little more than 50% of a charge and once it gets below 50%, Apple will replace my battery. At this rate, I'll be able to replace my ipod battery twice and still have it covered if the ipod stops working.

    or you could not pay for apple care and just buy the extremely inexpensive replacement battery kit that has a longer lasting battery than you will get from apple. prices anywhere from 20 to 40 bux for the entire kit.

    even if it was $20 dollars for that kit, if you buy that twice, =$40 compared to $50, you still don't have a warranty insuring the ipod for 2 year. Hard drives and screen are notorious for breaking on ipods.

    Guys, I have a feeling the OP doesn't want to fix his iPod. He merely wants to take out the hard drive which I think is impossible to do unless you crack open the iPod casing.
