Your computer is trying to put off of the iPod. You have to disable USB Booting from within the BIOS to avoid this.

All you have to do is leave it out untill it goes to the desktop.

You have to disable the computer from booting from USB Devices like I said in my original post.

Call whoever makes your computer to find out how to do it. Or look for something that says USB Boot or something similar.

Try putting HDD as the first in the list to boot from.

Remember that you can leave the iPod cable pluggen into the computer, and just unplug the iPod from the other end.
