You didn't do your homework, before you spent your money. The best possible
solution for you is to format the partition as vfat and start over. Next
time, avoid apple proprietary filesystems at all costs.
FAT32 means you're stuck with filesizes no larger than 2 GB...not a problem
if music is all you plan on putting on it, but it could be an issue if you
use your iPod as a sneakernet device. It takes two seconds on a Mac to
disable HFS+ journaling; even if you don't have one yourself, I'd think a
quick trip to the nearest Apple store (or other retailer) would get you
access long enough to shut off journaling.
Without a Mac, if I'm not mistaken, I think there are tools for Linux
that'll create HFS+ filesystems. Putting the iPod into disk mode
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651), copying everything
off of it, reformatting, and copying everything back ought to work.
