I just a new external harddrive that I put all my music in, its connected via USB. But now whenever I plug my iPod in, windows only recognizes it as a removable drive and neither iTunes or Winamp recognizes it. Anyone have any clue what the problem could be?

Try changing USB ports. Sometimes that helps. Does another computer with iTunes or WinAmp recognize your iPod? It could be a case that the iPod is corrupted. Try doing a soft reset.

They may both want to use the same drive letter. Try changing the drive letter used by your new external hard drive (via the Disk Management tool in XP).
