There's no special driver and it's definitely got Intel/MBR-style partitioning. XP supports nothing other than that, and at the most basic level, an iPod is a Mass Storage device. This could have, however, changed with the advent of the third generation Nano (the fat one). Every USB model before that is purely mass-storage, though. -- Dustin L. Howett
