My classic ipod is not starting, i rebooted it many time and it then shows a circle with an 'X' in the middle of it and tells me to go to this support web page. Any thoughts?

The hard drive has probably failed. See If you see a red X icon on your iPod classic or iPod nano (5th generation or earlier) - Apple Support (archived copy). See iPod Service Pricing - Apple Support. You might want to shop around and/or consider an SD conversion kit to replace the failed drive.
