Hey, I was wandering if it was possible to install iPC to my laptop using my 30gb iPod video. I've heard of people that install the OS too their iPod and boot from it, but i want to use the iPod to install too my laptop. I have a iPC DVD and iso but it wont install to the laptop by dvd.

If I can make the iPod boot able and install the OS to my laptop then that would be great.

Thanks

AFAIK, iPods can be turned into external drives that are readable by computers. It depends if your motherboard can consider external drives plugged in by USB as bootable.
