One of the benefits of iTunes 7 is that it manages software updates for your iPod so that you donit have to download and run updaters yourself. Since you donit have to rely on other applications to handle the job for you, it should be easier to ensure that your iPod always has the latest software installed. Hereis how it works:

When a new iPod software update is available, iTunes 7 displays an alert dialog with options to download and install the update, only download the update, or cancel. I prefer to just download the updates so that I can make sure there arenit any reported issues with the software before I install it.

If you choose to download or download and install the update, the iPod Software Update dialog gives you some more information about the updater before you proceed. Click the Continue button to start the download.

iTunes tells you what the update includes before downloading it.

Once the download completes, the iPod information window in iTunes tells you that a new update is available for your iPod. To install it, click the Update button. To see the iPod information window, connect your iPod to your computer, and then select its name from the Devices section in the iTunes source list.

If you have additional iPods that are compatible with the update, iTunes will let you install the software on those devices, too. If the update is not compatible with a specific iPod model, or it has already been installed, the Update button is disabled.

The iPod Classic does not use iOS. The Classic's software is known as 1.1.2 PC (well, mine is)

To my knowledge, the last iPod Classic model (6th generation, 2nd revision, also knows as 7th generation) was originally shipped with 2.0.2, and there was an update to 2.0.3. The Wikipedia article for the Classic mentions only 2.0.5. I believe that 2.0.1 was the last available software for the 120GB iPod Classic.

However, regardless of whether yours has 2.0.4 or 2.0.5; as far as I know, there is no upgrade to the software available (but see the next paragraph*). Certainly, my iPod had no updates for many years and as far as I'm aware the difference between the software versions 2.0.1 and later is due to different hardware within the device. (On the iPod Touch, the different iOS versions reflect changes to the way the iPod works and different hardware, depending on which version of iOS is being discussed.)

* Regarding the SSD you have installed into your iPod, you should with consult the supplier who provided the SSD, because there are limitations on how much of the memory can be addressed by the software and that's not something that Apple even thinks about since it's not their upgrade. On my iPod for example, if I added a 256GB SSD, the iPod would only ever be able to address 128GB of that memory, no matter what I do.

Sorry I can't be more help, but if the Classic's software is still available to download, I don't know where it is. I'm not sure it would make any difference to your issue anyway.
