hey all, this might be the wrong place to post this but i really wasn't sure. ..move it if need be.

my story is that i just got a 12" powerbook, and i'm trying to transfer files from my PC to my new mac. i want to use my ipod as a firewire hard disk, but i'm pretty sure once i set it up on my mac, it won't be readable on my pc. does anyone have any experience or tips on how to do this? thanks.

I currently use my Mac iPod on my Windows XP box byutilising MediaFour's Xplay software. Works just fine under XP.

I reformatted my mac iPod as a windows iPod. I keep it synced with my mac, but I can use it as an external FW HD on any win machine (w/ FW, of course).

One problem--I cannot update my iPod on my mac, I have to update from windows. But I have been VERY happy with the results.
