ITunes error 1646 when restoring?

When I click on "Restore,"  the restoring process will get to around "Preparing iPod for Restore," then it will say the iPod can't be restored - Error 1646.  Then my iPod boots up as normal and acts like nothing happened to it.  I'm using official Apple cables that came with my device.  Any suggestions?
iTunes - Latest version as of today
iPod Touch 4G - 6.0.1
Microsoft - Windows Vista

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 1:
Check for hardware issues

  • ITunes error -1 when restoring iPhone from backup after iOS5 update

    If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!

I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.

  • ITunes Error (1645) When restoring

    Can someone help me please, im trying to restore to 4.1 officially and i am getting this error.

    In my case (iPad2 updating to iOS 5.0), iPad entered into a continuous loop of rebooting and shutting down and not accepting any of the commands given by the buttons on it. Only apple sign was showing on the screen and disappearing with each cycle.
    It turns out that the Apple "in-ear headphones with remote and mic" were defective and as soon as I unplugged it, the cycle was broken!!!
    Just wanted to drop a line hoping that it may save some time to one of you.

  • IOS 5 seems to work, but when I connect the ipad to my macbook, i get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What should I do?

    iOS 5 seems to work on my ipad, but apparently something went wrong when restoring. I lost music and movies, and when I connect the ipad to my macbook, I get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What happened and what should I do?

    I have had the same issue since day 1 of the ios5 installation.  I always hit "Cancel" and then the iPad eventually shows up again in iTunes.  Then a few hours later, I get the same message again.  Annoying, but I've not found a way around it.
