First off, I'm in India so going to the nearest Apple service center or whatnot is not an option.
I got my ipod in Jan. Its been working fine. But then, a couple weeks ago when I tried to update I got this message: The ipod cannot be updated. the disk could not be read from or written to.
My ipod shows up in the itunes window but not in My Computer. And when I try the ipod updater it tells me that it "can't mount ipod"
