Putting iPod into Disk Mode
Plug the iPod Power Adapter into an electrical outlet and connect iPod to the power adapter.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears. (For iPod Software 1.0 through 1.1, a FireWire logo appears on the screen.)
Disconnect iPod from the power adapter and connect it to your computer.
Putting iPod mini or iPod (Click Wheel) into Disk Mode
Plug the iPod Power Adapter into an electrical outlet and connect iPod to the power adapter.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Disconnect iPod from the power adapter and connect it to your computer.
If you are having difficulty putting the iPod mini or iPod (Click Wheel) into Disk Mode, set the iPod on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the click wheel and not near the center.
If you are still unable to put iPod mini or iPod (Click Wheel) into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button
Where do you get that background for the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad with the water droplets that Apple uses in almost all of its product promos?

I hook my iPod into a large subwoofer. It sometimes doesnt play the bass of the music in some songs. Is it the speaker or iPod?

You're reading Is it possible to use a Windows version iPod or a Nomad Zen as a portable hard drive without hacking it or using 3rd party software? If not, how does one go about turning these into a portable hard drive?

Fatfoddy: Not his fault it's complicated! Could use info about the Zen though.
