When i try to put music on my ipod classic my laptop will  put songs on for a bit then stops and erases my ipod.  why is this happening?

When i tryed to add new music to my ipod classic it added it fine  but when i went to play it  some songs wouldnt start playing and skipped to next songs.  i restored my ipod like it said to.  when i wnet to put all my music back on it went through a bunch and then all of a sudden it stopped and one song  about half mway through it and then i got a messege ballon saying windows couldnt find the file to sync to or something like that.  whewn i ejeckted my ipod it was blank no music that had been synced was on there  whats going on?

There are a couple of things you can try to do at this point.  The first is to temporarily disable your PC's AntiVirus/security software as it may be interferring with the sync process causing it to timeout and corrupt your iPod's filesystem, which in return erases all content from your iPod.
Also, double check to make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port and not an older USB 1.0 port as it may not provide enough juice/power to allow a successful sync.  This means you shouldn't plug your iPod into any sort of USB hub, a keyboard with the built in USB port, or into a USB port on the front of the PC itself as they are not connected directly to the motherboard and do not provide as much power.
Lastly, try temporarily removing any other USB peripherals (minus keyboard and mouse) and try the sync process again to see if that helps.  If it does, it's likely a driver conflict with the different devices or that with each plug it, the iPod isn't allowed enough power to complete a successful sync.
You may need to remove and re-install iTunes as well as there may be some corrupt files.
