If you performed a search for that error code here:

iPod: Can't restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439 - Apple Support

also bypassing a USB hub & going directly to the machine ports worked for some people.

Late reply but i just recovered my 160gb classic from the same issue by doing a format of the drive. I must strive that you must uncheck the quick format box when doing this and it did take around 2 hours for this to complete as doing a quick format did not work.

Overjoyed that this fixed my issue, had went down every other avenue with this and was about to give up hope. Hope it helps someone.
