I installed an Ipod on my Windows 98Se machine two years ago, even though Apple will tell you it can't be done.
You obviously can't use Itunes but I use a utility called EphPod which works perfectly, the method I used to install the Ipod is a bit convoluted but I have it all written down and I've helped other people with the process.
If you'd like me to help you send me a PM.
