Re: uh oh -- restore troubles

Hi Morten,

I tried doing what you said, but it still didn't work.  I don't think it
even has to do anything with my PC's configuration, because this problem
with the "usb" symbol shows up regardless of whether the iPod is plugged
into PC or not.

It's weird...I can't find any mention of it anywhere...guess I'll have to
figure something else out.

Thanks for your help,

Kevin
