Do you have iTunes installed??
If you do then you won't see it as a removable drive. To use your iPod as a removable drive select your iPod in iTunes and select 'Enable Disk Use' in the 'Summary' tab. You will get a warning message. Click Ok and then click Apply.
Your iPod should show up as a removable drive now.

P.S. - Remember to 'Safely Remove Hardware' by clicking the icon in the system tray everytime you want to remove your iPod. Also avoid using iPod as a removable disk (i.e. - do not read or write it) iTunes is synching with it.
