    I bought a 30g video ipod recently and now when i plug it to the PC, computer reboots itself everytime windows starts and it finds new USB hardware. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

    Are you using a USB port on the front of your computer? There's a tendency for computers to reboot if using a poorly wired USB port, which generally occurs with ones on the front of the computer.

    And do you have the iPod software installed on your computer? It should be recognized as an iPod and not new hardware. You need to install the software that came on the CD before connecting your iPod to your computer. If you've lost the CD you can go here:

    Apple updater Software - http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes/

    If you already have iTunes there's no need to download it again. Post back if you're still having problems.
