ipod classic 160gb, error -48, and error -53 when trying to sync to library

Can you help, i cant load tracks from my library and sync my ipod classic on either of my computers. i am running on both computers uptodate software versions and i have also tried all the usual reset routines but still have no joy becuase now it has lost all my music from the ipod and still wont sync.It initailly syncs until it gets to aprox 1gb full then it freezes and eventually pops up error messages. I tried the link that someone put up on previous post about the error code and tried running the enable disk and scanning for bad sectors but still i have problems. it has been working great with no real problems before now, but my ipod is now over 1 year old, surprise surprise and it is broken just like my last ones after 1 year!
Can you advise anything? i have run system driver clean up on both computers aswell as ipod when set as enable disk in itunes ,and fixed corrupt sectors but still wont sync, im lost now.
Someone help please.
thanks

I am having the same problem. Sometimes I get an error code and sometimes I don't. I tried to get apple to do something about it however mine is also out of warranty so no luck. I have read about a lot a people having syncing issues like this with their ipod classic and I am kind of amazed that apple is not willing to fix this issue. If I get it fixed or have any luck with apple I will post here. Good Luck.
