Click on the Ipod from my computer, it should just open up as a removable drive then copy across

Set up iTunes not to sync the new PC's music collection, then just copy the files off the iPod. They're probably hidden (I know they are on the mac)

Or take the HD out of the old PC and plug it into the new one and copy everything across...

Tried that but it doesn't show a file of music when I open it, even though the ipod is 2/3 full. I'm lost here!

Ok. I have set it up not to sync. It's just a case of finding the hidden music files on the ipod and getting them accross. Thats where I'm stuck. I hav the old hard drive, any idea where I connect it to the new one to get the files over?

I used iPodAgent software when tranferring mine across; it seemed fairly easy.
