I have made an iPod nano appear as a flash drive by going to iTunes and checking "Enable disk use." However, I am short of a large enough USB key to hold a bootable Windows 8 installer for use by Boot Camp. Because Boot Camp needs to wipe the drive used, can I create a partition in Disk Utility of the iPod and install to that?
Does iPod still work after creating a new partition for use as a flash disk?

It can be done, but truthfully i would just spend the $15 on an 8gb USB drive.
Anyway, one way of doing it:
OBVIOUSLY you will lose everything in the ipod. So after restore copy all the music back.
You might be able to skip the first 3 steps and format it straight away, depending on your h/w version it might work, so check that first.
