1st Gen was for Mac only. Later versions of the iPod Software Updater allowed it to be formatted as Fat-32 so as to be used with Windows. I know this for a fact because I bought a used 1G 5GB iPod for my Dad, downloaded the latest updater, and formatted it for Windows for him. It works. Period. I did have to add a FW card to his PC, though.
