iPod help... quickly!

I have an iPod video... can i use it as a storage device?

I need to move some files from the mac i'm using now (not the mac i have the iPod linked to) to a PC. No internet access on the PC, no CDR drive on this mac and it's the only way i can think to do it.

I'm sure i read somewhere a while ago i could use the iPod as a removeable drive... any ideas anyone??

I'm 90% sure you can. Just plug and play to use it for storage if I remember rightly.

Yes you can.

I didn't read the whole thing...but you can do it.

Edit to add:
When you plug it in, look for a removeable drive. You should be able to drag and drop.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

You PC might not recognize the mac formatted "external drive". I just saw a writeup on a Windows program that enables PCs to see Mac formattted drives...if you do this a lot maybe it's something for you to consider...

Good luck.
