Right off the assembly line
It is possible that the iPod was shipped factory formatted for the mac . You may have to reformat it for the PC . Usually when yo plug it in the first tme in ur PC, iTunes asks if you want to reformat it for the PC .
If this didnt happen, try reformatting the ipod with FAT filesystem.
Open it on 'my computer'. right click it and then scroll to format. this should clear you up in order to start from scratch. if you still cannot get it going, post back! :)

Sujit, I love itunes. Since you didn't like it, you can use winamp with ipod plug-in to copy music to your ipod.

Yes. Absolutely correct. It's meant for ipod(though it was released months before ipod). I am using this for the past 2 years and am addicted to it.

I am not sure whthr its USB 1.x or 2.0.But both my USB ports work fine with other USB devices like pen drive,bluetooth dongle,broadband modem,etc...
I have tried both the ports,but to no avail.

ah. okay. I don't think it's a problem with itunes. When I first bought my ipod, I connected it to my old PIII 1.13 GHz with USB 1.1, iTunes didn't detect my ipod. When I connected my ipod to my new AMD Athlon64 machine, it worked without any hiccup. No issues so far with itunes or ipod on USB2.0.

I use a video i pod n i can tell that nothing beats it......
It has sheer class in it.
From the very first day i have been a fan of i pod.
Sound is too good to be true. And if you are on a no budget policy then combine it with a bose headphone(costs as much as a video i pod).

Got it working finally.Changed the drive letter and it was detected immediately..Only issue is that i have to attach the iPod b4 booting.If i connect it after the PC has started,it hangs.
Anyway something is better than nothin....
