I have Windows XP running in VMware with AnywhereUSB drivers installed. I can connect a USB memory stick and access through AnywhereUSB in XP. Unfortunately, if I connect my iPod in disk mode to copy data off, the XP machine will go into a reboot loop (system reboots automatically, then reboots again when it reaches the login screen).
Any ideas on why I can access my iPod in disk mode?
Hello,
Briefly, what is disk mode?
Attach your iPod directly to a physical PC and download/run the AnywhereUSB check utility from the link below. Does it pass or fail?

Hi Jeremy! Thanks for the quick response.
> 1. Briefly, what is disk mode?
There are typically two ways to get data on the iPod, iTunes sync and disk mode. iTunes sync is the only way you can get music/video/iTunes data onto the iPod in a playable fashion. The other way you can use the iPod is as standard removable hard drive where you can copy anything to it through Windows Explorer.

Here’s the results from the utility:
2 USB devices found.
Incompatible devices found:
IBM Integrated Bluetooth IV VID = 0x0A5C PID = 0x201E
Compatible devices found:
Apple Mobile Device USB Driver VID = 0x05AC PID = 0x1290

To resolve the reboot loop, I just disconnected the iPod from the AnywhereUSB hub, and the XP machine will boot fine.
