Rockbox not visible on my PC or Mac when connected via USB!

Hello - I have just successfully installed Rockbox on my (old) 3G IPOD.  Here's my question:  when I connect the IPOD via a USB cable, it does not appear on my PC and/or MAC.  It was my impression that the unit should show up in Explorer/Finder as a separate drive.   What am I missing?   >:(

MarcGuay:
According to this: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TargetStatus USB doesn't work on the 3rd gen iPod.  Perhaps you have to boot into the Apple OS before making a connection?

froggyman:
it has to be in disk mode, and you have to enable disk mode through iTunes

gblasius:
How do I enable disk mode?    After that, is it simply a question of copying files and then rebooting?

connect in the OF open itunes, go to the device page, then on the summary page check "enable disk mode" then simply resync with that setting
