Tis definitely possible. Just use windows to do it. AFAIK it'll wipe all data though.

But i want to use it as an portable mp3 player aswell as an NFTS harddrive. I have been reading around and it doesnt seem possible as microsoft havent released the code for writing to NTFS so non windows based systems cannot write to NTFS disk. Unless someone has hacked it?

Ah right. What I read didn't mention not being able to use it to play music afterwards!

There are non-Windows based systems that can read and write to NTFS of various versions. The iPod is not one of them. It supports FAT32 and HFS+; that's one more file system than most do.
