ok.... stupid me, I reinstalled windows and plugged in the ipod without installing itunes first

Now it just shows up as a removable drive.... I tried getting on apple's website for any info, and nothing. I tried chatting with one of their techs and I might have well been talking to myself about 5 years ago - ie knowing nothing.

What do I need to remove from windows to get this sucker working?
 
Try this:
-With the iPod disconnected, install the latest version of iTunes.
-Connect the iPod, then Right-Click on my computer and select Properties.
-Choose the Hardware tab, and click the button for the Device Manager.
-Under the Disk Drives section, you'll see the iPod, Right-Click on the iPod and select to uninstall the device; restart your machine.
-Now download the latest version of the iPod updater and run it, follow the instructions.(You may need to disconnect the iPod and reconnect it at this point).

-If that doesn't work you can run the Updater and select the Restore option, you will loose the contents on you iPod however.
 
Ok this is messed up - I tried all of that

I can't even use the ipod updater. The program will start up but when I insert the ipod, windows reconizes it as 3 things

1 - mass storage
2 - ipod
3 - removable drive

So after it does that (if i'm lucky) ipod updater will just say "Can't mount ipod"
