Running Multiply iPods on one comp

Question

Any one have any idea on how to run mutilple iPod accounts one one computer. i have my HD partitioned, would it be possilbe to run the two accounts on different partitions or would there still be a conflict. I know if you connect your ipod to another computer to get songs it will resync your iPod to that comp and erase everything that currently exists on the iPod and load the new list. If anyone have and idea lemme know, thanks

An iPod can be set so that it won't auto-sync when connected to another PC by changing the update option to "manually manage songs and playlists": http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61675
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
