itunes problem with windowsME

[drayton]

Bought my daughter an ipod nano for xmas, having big problems with it so far:xmasconfused:
it seems the ipod isnt compatible with the system i've got (windowsME)
firstly i cant seem to install the ipod properly (haven't got original windowsME disk required during install)
also it seems i need to use itunes, which i cannot download because it says only compatible with windows 2000 or xp.

ive got a unhappy 14yr old at the moment.all her music is currently on this p.c.

any help would be very gratefully appreciated please.
thanks in advance.

Welcome to DVD-ROM Guide

You could try ephpod, this will work with ME, assuming your ME installation isn't shot :

Make sure you download the correct version ;)

Hi phil.
Thanks a million for that, i will give it a go and let you know how i get on.
Thanks again mate, much appreciated.

right, ive downloaded and installed it, it looks just the job i think.
i'm going to have a good read about how it works and see what happens!
Can't thank you enough phil.

You're welcome m8y ... hope it works ok :)

the problem now seems to be with installing the ipod on windowsME..
when i go through the installation progress it seems i'm missing some drivers.
i'm asked to insert the windowsME disk, which i haven't got.

i get these error messages

the ntkern.vxd device loader could not load the device driver, to fix click the update driver...
when i click update driver it says can't find usbstor.inf, when i click next it says cannot find usbntmap.sys and also cannot find usbstor.sys

:xmasconfused:

Hmmmm. .....it certainly seems like you are going to need the ME CD-ROM

This may help, but you could spend a whole load of time and still have problems :

Check out the option, which may be available to you, if you dont have the CD-ROM.

I guess it depends on how much time you are willing to spend ;)

thanks phil.
i should be able to borrow a ME disk from a mate, so hopefully that will do the job!

appreciate your help, all the best.
