Did the program auto-detect your iPod?

What model of iPod are you trying to install to?

Make sure you use the newest version of rbutil (1.0.6) and that you run it as admin/root.
As rbutil needs raw disk access to your ipod.

No, because administrative rights are needed to gain raw disk access in order to install the bootloader.
