Le Sueur VIA St.Thomas | Hello,
My new HDD should be showing up tomorrow and I'm going to reinstall Vista soon after. My wife has an I-Pod with I-tunes and lots of I-songs on the computer. I am not I-Savvy and need to know how to transfer her I-stuff the the new drive.
Since I'm not wiping the old HDD yet, the data will be there for a while but I have googled it and it doesn't seem hard Does the following sound about right?
Nothing is as comforting as knowing your precious music files are safely preserved on your computer. If your computer crashes and your files are lost, however, it can spell disaster. Back up the music files within your iTunes application on a second computer to further protect your investment. Properly transfer the files and enjoy the peace of mind knowing your music is properly secured.

iPod
USB cable

2 Click the iPod icon on the left side menu of the iTunes application under "Devices" and click the "Sync" option. Allow the iTunes library to sync to the iPod.
3 Press the eject icon next to the icon of your iPod when the sync is complete and remove the USB cable from the port on your computer.
4 Leave the cable attached to the iPod and attach the other end of the cable to the second computer.
5 Press "Cancel" if iTunes asks to sync your music library.
6 Click the "Start" menu on the second computer and open "My Computer." Open "iPod," "iPod Control" and then "MUSIC."
