i have a Video iPod formatted in Mac and i need a Windows formatted iPod...so is anyone willing to trade...im looking for the same thing, Video iPod 30Gb doesn't matter on the color (mine is Black BTW)
just run the iPod updater (you can get it free from apple.com), and it will format it for your windows machine. If your computer isn't recognizing it, it's a problem with the iPod or the computer.
