Hello there all.

First of all - I've been all over the web trying to fix this problem (which I'll explain in a moment). I've spent hours messing with this problem - so any help would be really, really appreciated.

The problem is this:

I have a Mac, 5gig iPod that I want to make work on my Win XP machine (with built-in firewire). So, I went to the Apple site, followed the instructions and downloaded the new 1.2.6 Updater, which apparently is supposed to allow me to reformat this iPod to Fat32. Well - no matter what I do (uninstalling/reinstalling/restarting/changing program file names), my computer will not see the iPod.
Has anyone else ever heard/seen this problem? All I can figure out now is that perhaps this cord is bad? That's usually the first thing I tell people when I try to help them with their computers (I was a tech in the past), so I'm going to see what happens when I get a new cord - but short of a bad cord.....

Any thoughts?

J.
