This is quite frustrating! Assuming you've followed ALL the steps correctly and in order and your iPod still won't restore in iTunes, the only option remaining is a regular full windows format of the iPod.

Right click on your iPod maybe seen as Removable Disk and go to format. This will scrub your iPod clean, replacing the filesystem entirely. Having your iPod's Hard Disk running constantly for as long as it takes to do a full format can slightly reduce the iPods lifespan, but if it's necessary and only when necessary I can't see the harm.

The same goes for a scandisk surface scan. The iPods hard disk isn't made to be running constantly so bear that in mind. How to manually replace a corrupted system file with a known good copy of the file.
