So, I'm having this huge pain in the ass issue. I'm running Windows XP which is reading the iPod Nano just fine (shows up as a storage drive and everything). iTunes, however, does not detect it at all.

A couple of days ago, when I first got everything, it detected it just fine. Half of my library was in iTunes and synced up with the iPod (I don't know why only half but it was a start). Then, it asked me if I wanted to update the iPod. Sure, why not? So, it's in the process of updating, and it froze. I ended iTunes and tried to start it up again. Now, when it comes up, the iPod doesn't get read.

Here's what I've tried:
Uninstalling and deleting anything iPod/iTunes and reinstalling (a gajillion times)
Restarting the iPod.
Plugging the iPod into my laptop to finish the update (1.0.2 -> 1.0.3) and bringing it back.
Downloading a program that deletes all install files from the registry.
Several different older versions of iTunes.

Honestly, I'm running out of ideas and patience. I really do like this iPod, and I like that it can play movies. I am thinking about returning it though just so I don't have to put up with this shit anymore.

If anyone has any ideas at all, HELP ME!
