ok, i am getting myself a second hand 10gig ipod soon.

it is currently mac formatted, but i run windows.

i've read the sticky, and i've read some other threads, but i want to make sure i've got this 100% correct.

here's the process as i see it:

1. install firewire card, i am planning to buy the "3 Port D-Link DRF-A3 FireWire card" from www.scan.co.uk

will this card work ok?

2. plug in ipod, and wait for windows xp to recognise it.

3. run the windows software updater 1.2.6 (which i have downloaded) selecting *restore* to continue.

4. install ephpod, which again, i have already downloaded.

is this correct?

or would it be a better idea to install ephpod before formatting the ipod?

thanks in advance for your help
