    -Open 'My Computer'
    -Locate your iPod's drive
    -Right Click on your iPod's drive & click 'Format...'
    -Then Select the 'Quick Format' option
    -Click 'Start'.

    It is more than possible your computer will slow down - 60gb is a large amount of disk space to load. Allow it to load so you can format it :)

    I got an videp Ipod, i do all the steps that the guide shows me! But something wrong with it... like when i hold the play/pause buttons the screen come up and show everthings in there, but just 3 second later it automatically turn off( i dun touch anything), then it turn on again for 3 second and then tunr off. It keeps doing that until the battery is out. Now i dun know how to do with out and my comp doesn't recognize my Ipod!

    Try resetting your iPod. You can do this by pressing & holding the 'menu' and 'middle' buttons together for six seconds until the Apple logo appears.

    duyhai,

    try restoring your iPod.

    This Guide will show you how to restore your iPod on both Windows and Mac operating systems:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    (note that restoring your iPod erases all date and rolls the unit back to "factory state")
