My wife's late-2003 20GB click wheel is not working or appearing on either of our Mac computers (either in iTunes or Disk Utility) when attached.

It's making a rather worrying sound (as if trying to engage a hard drive maybe?) and will briefly flash the Exclamation Point/Folder icon, then say Disk Mode and a checkmark and ready to disconnect.

Since it's impossible to find the iPod Updater software how do I restore this iPod- or even just get it out of disk mode? I've tried resetting it and had it plugged into a wall outlet for a day or so to make sure it wasn't a dead battery... any thoughts?

It had been working fine (and regularly connected to the computer to update).

Surely it's not useless?
