Stuck: iTunes 10 issue, iPod touch upgrade to 4.1 issue
I'm having the Windows XP iPodService.exe service startup problem discussed at length elsewhere. This means that I cannot synch my iPod 80 gig until this is fixed. I have to use Windows XP because my company requires it. They are big enough to buy Apple many times over, so no jokes about that.
So I was notified of the 4.1 software update for my iPod touch 64 gig. I decided to do it. Now it won't boot, and only shows this screen:

I haven't had luck in forcing it into recovery mode with this doc:

So now I can't synch my iPod 80 gig, and my iPod touch 64 gig won't boot. I'm stuck.
I'm not really going to entertain all of the advice that my USB port is broken, or any of the other unlikely stuff that Apple asks us to do. iTunes + my iPod 80 gig had been working fine for years up until yesterday.
This is not good. Someone needs to fix this.
I wish I hadn't ordered the new shuffle over the weekend. It won't be able to be synched anyway at this point. I guess I'll have to return it if this stuff doesn't get fixed.
lots, Windows XP Pro, iPod 80 gig, iPod touch 64 gig, new shuffle on the way but I won't be able to use it :(
