And if you're really really adventurous, then you could always power-up 
terminal.app and use the unix command 'dd' which lets you make a bit 
exact copy. I haven't used in since I switched, but I recall typing 
things like:
cat /Volumes/IPod1 | dd > /Volumes/IPod2, although that was on linux. 
You might have to dig even deeper than that and find the actual device 
names of the iPods.

While I'm almost sure that this won't help anyone out here on the list, 
I still hope that it does. (And if I had more time and a second iPod of 
similar size, I would try it.)

ps please tell me when this kind of advice isn't wanted.
