If you are still having the issue:
To go a step farther... follow the previous instructions about reseting the iPod (Hold Play/Menu) and then as soon as the iPod restarts, hold down left(track down) and menu until a service menu appears. (I don't remeber if it works on that generation of iPod.) Choose HD Chk... or something similar. This may give you a clue.
