IPod Classic 80g..message 'Delayed write failed?? Will not sync to itunes!

This message appears when I try to connect to my pc...
'Delayed write failed. Windows is unable to save all the data for the file J:\ipod_control. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failiure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere'
Ok..
A: I know the 'J' is the drive it is assigned too...I have been to admin and changed it....No luck
B: I have found the actual file in the hidden folders but cannot move it or save it elsewhere as it suggests....
C: I have reset and at one point factory restored through itunes.....
D: I have even been into the system start up sequence and set it up for ipod and itunes only.....
Am I being silly or is there a solution???
Please can somebody shed some light as to what to do...
Ta muchly
Chris

My husband's 80GB iPod had the same problem a few months ago...turned out it was due to corrupted album artwork. Try unchecking the box "Display artwork on this iPod", close iTunes, reconnect iPod to iTunes and then recheck the box "Display album artwork on this iPod". Once I did that, the iPod loaded perfectly and no more error messages.
Hope this helps!
