Ipod as hard drive

I have Hallmark card creator software that eats up 1.6g of hard drive, slowing my laptop down considerablly. I have this idea to load the software on my ipod and run from ipod onto my laptop. I currently use my ipod for audible and music. Is there a problem with also using for hard drive. Do i have to do anything special?
new generation 20g
Window 2000
Itunes for downloads.

It shouldn't be a problem using the iPod as a hard drive, although I don't know what type of performance you will experience running the software directly from the iPod.

In order to use the iPod as a hard drive you will need to enable the iPod's Disk Mode. Once enabled the iPod will behave similar to any other external firewire hard drive.

Someone else probably knows for certain, but I believe that when utilizing Disk Mode, you must always manually "eject" the iPod before you can physically disconnect it from the firewire port.
