@FD-

As far as I know, there is no way to prevent that. I suffered hours of headache reloading a full 30 or 40 gigs to a friend's iPod (on USB 1.0, no less!) after iTunes randomly decided to wipe the whole thing while I was trying to configure it to work with a laptop instead of a desktop.

In addition, if you try to load one song too many on, and it warns you that "There isn't enough space... would you like us to choose all the songs you don't want and copy them three dozen times each, etc..?" button... one wrong click erases the whole iPod and sends your synchronization back to the stone age... Very frustrating interface for PC users. I rarely use mine any more.

Indeed, best to not to plug your ipod into foreign computers, lest it sync where it's not supposed to.

I now have power chargers for A/C and Auto, so no need to plug back into a computer.

Edit - Its sooo much fun figureing out the bugs. Took me forever to get it to do a restore. But its back to normal, and with a couple more books added, its up to almost 11gb now.

Hey, I'll have you know, I set up a restore point before I install ANY program, even firefox. That way if anything goes wrong, I can restore and fix it, and not have to reformat. Oh, and I haven't done a reformat in a year or so.

Bah! "System Restore" *can* work, but the truly evolved rabb- I mean person would use an image. After all, SR still leaves superfluous files lying around to name but one issue.

ah, System Restore, the lovely warm nest for viruses and trojans of all sorts to hide. It has it's uses but it's not a magic solution by any means, and malicious code loves it.

you mean you haven't done a reformat this year so far; I seem to recall you being in a tizz about doing one only a few months ago? still, maybe the Disk of Death might get a rest now, it must be worn out, poor little thing
