[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1246564, member: 46727"] It sounds very much like the hard drive in the classic is acting up. All the symptoms you described point to that. Disk Utility works well to verify and repair normal hard drives but it's not very good at finding problems with flash drives and the smaller hard drives used in iPods. I went through the same thing with an older mini and wound up having to change out the hard drive. Do you have Apple care on the Classic? If you don't, you might want to change out the drive yourself. Instructions for doing so are on the ifixit web site.
