Apple will roll out a fix very soon...they always do.

Still waiting for the fix for the 5th gen iPod.

I wonder if this would corrupt my girlfriend's iPod mini as well *reads more*.

What's teh problem with the 5G iPod??? I have a 30GB one...

May not be option for you, but HFS+ should be better than VFAT.

I heard that HFS+ doen't play well w/ Xp systems though... Which is why i used fat32, compatable w/ both.

My external 40gb drive isn't recognized in XP because it is formatted in HFS+

I wonder, if i format in HFS+, and leave the drive connected to the mini and shared, can i access it and write to it over the network?

I've added emphasis to my original reply. 😉

Yes, that's what Samba is for. 🙂

Cool, i'll check out Samba...

And to those above who suggested USB, there are a few problems with that...

#1. For some reason it is significanly slower than FW... I just tried it and directories take longer to load, as do file listings.
#2. People over at apple forums have reported various corruption issues just writing files normally via USB.

Yeah, what does the 5G iPod have anything to do with FireWire corruption, considering it uses USB2?
