Check the checkbox that says either "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage songs and playlists". The latter will just disable iTunes' automatic iPod songs/playlists updating. If you want iTunes to update your iPod anywas, but you just want to use the iPod for storage, I recommend you use "Enable disk use".
Note if you have an iPod shuffle, you will have to use the slider to determine the amount of space dedicated to data and the amount of space dedicated to your media files.
