A corrupted iPod is not a good thing. That means that you did something to your hard drive that really hurt it. I guess you have to take it back to Apple and get a new guts for the thing. But first try the 5 R's
1. Reset (flick the hold switch on and off, then press the menu and select buttons simultaneously, and hold them down until the Apple logo appears: about 6 seconds)
2. Retry with a different USB or FireWire port.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Reinstall iTunes and iPod software
5. Restore iPod (open iPod software and select restore, when your iPod is plugged in)
