[QUOTE="djames42, post: 307361, member: 13241"] Apple may not support this, but it is possible to do. I think the primary reason not to is that the HD in the iPod is [I]really[/I] slow, and not designed for the amount of activity involved in using it as a startup volume. Still, if you can spare the room, it's not a bad way to carry a portable emergency boot drive with you. Check out Micromat's new [URL="http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=184"]Protogo[/URL] software - it's designed to be installed on a device such as an iPod (it's like their [URL="http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=49"]Protege[/URL] product, only you supply the boot device). I'm not sure though how this is better than just carrying a boot DVD/CD with you though, but it's there if you want it. [/QUOTE]
