Please help. Ipod has black battery and keeps saying need to restore via Itunes.. but when I restore it goes back to the way it was...

Please can somebody help me.
My iPod keeps saying I need to connect to iTunes and restore.
I have done that, but then it says it has been restored and then reverts back again to same message.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive has become faulty.  No matter how many time you Restore it, iTunes sees something wrong with the iPod's storage the next time, and asks you to Restore it again.
There is one more thing I can think of, that you can try.
Put the iPod into Disk Mode again.  With iTunes NOT running, reformat the iPod's disk like it was an external drive, using the Windows command.  Make sure you are selecting the iPod's disk for formatting.  Select the format type of "FAT."  If there is an option for a "quick" format, do not use it; do a "full" format.  If there is a physical problem on the hard drive, this formatting attempt may fail.  If it succeeds, run iTunes and do another Restore.  (Even if it does not prompt you this time, you need to do a Restore so that iTunes can re-install the iPod's onboard software.)
