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🙂
