Alright, here's the deal. Today I received my first iPod, and of course I was extremely happy. I followed the instructions in the box, completed step 1 which was to charge the iPod and then I came to step 2 which was to install the things on the cd that came with the iPod. It went fine until I got to the part where it said that I should connect the iPod to see if it needed formatting. I was pretty sure it didn't since it's new and all of that, but I did what the program asked me and connected the iPod. The program figured that I should format the iPod so I pressed the "format" button and waited. The thing is, how long does it take to format?? It's been an hour now and nothing has happened
Does it usually take this long or do I have good reason to be concerned? I asked some of my other friends with iPod's and their didn't take this long time. The computer which is connected to the iPod is a hp pavillion zt3000 running windows XP and I am connecting the iPod through firewire 2.0.
Edit: First of all, thanks for your respond, varmit. I think i figured it out, because I cancelled the first format (I doubt it was smart, but I did it) and restarted the cd. Then everything went fine
