I was wonder how i can slave my iBook G4's hard drive to
my PC I am rather computer literate but this is an
operation that up until now I have not ran across I want to
rescue some files from my Mac but I can't seem slave it
properly to my PC any help you can offer would be
appreciated
Are you having trouble with physically connecting the drive, or with getting Windows to read it after it's connected?
For the former, what have you already tried? For the latter, you'll probably need something like this.

I am not sure where or how to hook up the hard drive like
I said I know nothing about hardware I need to know what
kinds of cables and stuff if I can get it hooked up I should
be able to do the rest

a pc...windows i know for sure will not be able to read the mac's file system, you would need to use a mac. you can physically connect it with a adapter that will go from the ide cable to the laptop hdd and a 4 prong power adapter.

Here is a pretty good visual guide to removing the hard drive from an iBook.
Once you get the drive out, you will need this to connect it to your PC.

There should be no need of removing the ipod's drive...
How to network mac and pc:

Just as with ntfs/fat32/fat16 over a lan, the problem of mac/pc file formats does not enter into the equation across a lan; file formats are abstracted (i.e. removed ) from the situation. And if that seems a little strange... (remeber many www sites are mac - not pc - derived; not everyone run a pc on the www.

Ipod?
Why do you need to "slave" the mac's drive to your pc, faulhaber001? If the mac is operational and can still read the drive, trvlr is right. Networking is by far a better solution than physically removing the drive.
I had given you the benefit of the doubt, since you are computer literate, and assumed that you had a good reason for removing the drive rather than networking the mac. If you do need to physically remove the drive, networking will obviously not be an option.
