HELP I have a sony vai0 older computer. I am giving it to my sister. It has a wireless card that uses the same port as the Hi speed 2.0 card. I do not have the original cd to load the ipod software. I have to take out the wireless card to use the 2.0 network card that is required for transfer. What am I to do. I cannot find the link to download the software necessary to load the Ipod. I have however loaded the latest version of I tunes

It's not the software... millions of users have installed the same software on their iPod mini before you.
I'm not sure what the "5 steps" are, so if you did not try a Reset

you should try that first.  If you get back to being stuck at the Apple logo...
One possibility is data corruption on the iPod's tiny hard drive.  Everything was still working OK as long as the old iPod software files on the iPod's hard drive stayed "as is."  When the update tried to replace the old iPod software files, the existing data corruption made it unsuccessful.  Now, the iPod cannot run its software.
You should try a Restore on the iPod. This will erase the iPod, re-install the latest software, and set it to default settings.  Erasing will remove any data corruption, if that is the cause of the problem.
Restore is done in iTunes from the iPod's Summary screen.  If the current problem does not allow the iPod to appear in iTunes, put it into Disk Mode first

If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it the computer and run iTunes.  Hopefully, iTunes will see it and allow you to try a Restore.
