Here's the background: as those who frequent IRC know, my windows is totally fucked. Ctrl+alt+del doesn't work. Regedit doesn't work. Msconfig doesnt work. Everything is pretty much gone to shit. So I'm going to reformat and reinstall. However, theres a LOT that i have to back up before i can do that, and a lot of space on my iPod aside from all of my music (which is one of the things that i'd want to back up. I can't afford a new external HD so i was wondering if it's possible to use the iPod as one, for non-music files.

Now i'm relatively sure this can be done but there's a few things i need to know. First of all, anything special I need to do to the non-music files before i put them on the iPod? Also, once the reformat and everything is finished, how can i get the stuff back from the iPod onto the computer. Anything else i should know additionally?

Thanks for the help in advance. If this all works out it will calm my nerves DRASTICALLY.
