hello everyone
I just bought an iPod photo 60G last week, and I've heard that you can setup your ipod photo as an external HD.
But when I follow the instruction from apple.com, I should check the option says enable disk use, but when I tried to do this, it wouldn't let me do it.
here is my screenshot, http://tinypic.com/4lq2he
I am using windows XP Pro SP2
and I just restore my iPod to defualt setting, but I still cant handle this problem.
someone please help me!!
Thanks in advance.

i wouldn`t do that if i was you.
it will pretty soon burn up.
iPod's HD is NOT a heavy duty desktop/laptop HD. It`s a 1.8" HD for light use, not as an external.
but it's up to you.
thanks for the hints 
then I woulnd't use it as external HD
*damn double post* >.
In any case, the "Enable disk use" option is not editable, but it is checked.
The same thing happens with my iPod shuffle, and it works well... whenever I plug it in, it appears as another hard drive in My Computer.
mine works with both a suffle and a generation 4 15gb Ipod. I am fully able to use it as an HD and I am able to edit how much space i want to let it use. BTW, the ipod harddrive is a good HD for external use...although it gets hot, it spins at a good 4200 rpm
wow i never new 4Gs had 15GB models 
anyways you can even partition your ipod if you don't want all that ipod photos, music, notes, contacts etc... junk
personally I wouldn't use mine as an external HD, as Unbe has pointed out, the iPods aren't built for intensive usage. Go get a real external HD, I just got a Maxtor One touch II 100GB for $170, they're not expensive nowadays

the fact that is CAN act as one doesn't mean it should
