Partition an iPod
Can anyone tell me how to partition my 30G iPod photo?
Intel Core 2 Duo 24" iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)
You can use disk utility. It won't function as an iPod if you partition it.

I've tried to use Disk Utility, but I get an error.
Any thoughts?

You could try another hard drive utility program. I've long since lost track of any names as I've always been able to use Disk Utility. Of course, I've never wanted to render my iPods unusable as iPods by partitioning them so I've never tried.
Why do you want to partition it?

It's an older iPod I don't use anymore and I want to use it as an external drive.
I know once I partition the iPod, it will be unusable as an iPod. However, I've read that it's possible to restore your iPod as an iPod.
It that true?

I'd do a google search for Drive formatting software (Drive 10?). Or, just use it as is.
Did you try formatting it as a HFS disk and then partitioning? Did you try restoring it using iTunes and then formatting it? I don't know what else to suggest.
I've heard very mixed reports about getting it to go back to a functioning iPod, hence my repetition. I tend to be cautious.
Best of luck!
