Is my Ipod busted?

Over the weekend I formatted my winpod so that i could use it on my gf's G4 to back up a huge video file. Took it home and burned the video file onto a dvd for her no problem. So I format my ipod back to a winpod and synch songs just fine. When I go to play it, I get the folder with the exclamation point icon. So I try to reformat again and it synchs fine but still the same thing. So I try one more time to reformat it, but for some reason it says it only has 32 megabytes of space to format. I even tried restarting with no luck. Am I screwed?

I think you're best bet is to restore with the ipod updater.

try formatting the drive in windows, and then re-doing the ipod updater?

i may be wrong though...

check out Apple's website. You probably need to restore your iPod, which will delete all of your songs. Since you have them on your PC, it should not be a big problem.
