2nd Gen. iPod touch in recovery mode

My fairly new 2nd Generation iPod touch goes into recovery mode almost every week. I'm started to get anoid because if I go on a trip without a computer, and it requires a restore, it's useless.

Windows XP

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.
