WOW. I had no idea.  I thought once or twice before I responded but 
then I thought no you couldn't. I had one friend who took all of her 
iTunes off her computer after she had them loaded on iPod thinking she 
could move them back. She was very distressed to find it wasn't a two 
way street. I really thought that was the answer. No two way street 
thus no booting from iPod. Live and learn I guess. :) Thanks for 
setting me straight.
