You are not gonna believe this one! I gave the 40 GB one last shot last night and I know before that I followed everything step by step but I was signed in on my DSL while I did the disk upgrade. Well this time I decided that I would try it not signed in at all and lo and behold everything worked! It hasn't frozen while synching at all. I was able to put on about 2 gigs of music as of last night! It must have been the fact that I was signed on to my DSL that made things not work I not sure about that but I know it worked. Thanks to everyone for all your help!
