No problem there. And with my music and videos safely backed up on my iPod, it should have been an easy restore process. But of course, thanks to DRM, that’s not so. Apple makes restoring music easy - if you bought it from iTunes Music Store. If it’s your own stuff - there’s no way to re-import it back to your computer. So I searched “iPod rip” and sure enough, there was a nifty little program called “iPodRip.” (A lesson there in Google keywords, my friends.) It easily opened the “hidden” folders on my iPod, transferred my songs and videos back onto the computer, and synched up everything nicely. Alert the RIAA and MPAA: I have just stolen 1,844 songs and videos from myself. For every software barrier there is a software tank.

To put an OS on a USB stick, use DSL (damnsmalllinux.com) or Knoppix. In the BIOS setup you’ll have the option to select “Boot from USB Disk”, and that will solve your problem.
