I too have an ipod nano (8Gb, 3rd generation) though the partition table looks regular: # partition table of /dev/sdc unit: sectors /dev/sdc1 : start= 63, size= 1941377, Id= b /dev/sdc2 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 /dev/sdc3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 /dev/sdc4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 also the number of sectors in your partition table looks a bit high assuming 4 bytes per sector, how big is the ipod? filippo -- Filippo Giunchedi - http://esaurito.net PGP key: 0x6B79D401 random quote follows: All language designers are arrogant.
