Converting Mac iPod to PC iPod Problems

[Computer_Phreak]

I have used my iPod on my PC for a few months now, leaving it Mac formatted and using EphPod and MacOpener.

When iTunes came out, I decided to use it for transfering to my iPod. So, I downloaded some firmware updaters for the iPod, and used the "restore" function. Currently I have my iPod with version 1.2.6, and have tried 1.3 as well, but I'm having problems....

The iPod will mount as a hard drive, and will be recognized by windows as a FAT32 drive, however iTunes will not sync with it ("update to iPod" menu option greyed out), and niether will MusicMatch.

Any help and ideas appriciated.

P.S. I am going on a trip to Washington, DC on Saturday, and I'd really like to take it with me, so I need to fix it by then.

If it mounts as a harddrive, but wont auto update, just drag and drop all your music onto it.

you cold try formatting the drive in NTFC (or whatever the windows file system is,) if there isn't anything improtant on it.
