iTunes keeps thinking my iPod needs to be recovered

So I formatted my iPod on a PC at home and when I take it to work it only says that the iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be recovered. I then plug it into another PC and it works just fine. I have reinstalled iTunes and it doesn't make a difference.

Any suggestions?

Powerbook G4, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Try changing the drive letter allocated to the iPod in Windows Explorer: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.
