Help! My iPod touch 2G will not boot up!

My iPod touch 2G will not boot.

Heres the specs of the problem:

It turns on with an Apple logo with a spinning wheel under it.

I have tried editing the hosts file with the Apple server codes.

I have tried restoring 16 times. (I log what I do on it)

The iPod has never been jailbroken.

It is an MC model.

It is 8GB.

Its formated for Windows. (Windows 7)

iTunes 10.4

I have tried "The Tiny Umbrella TSS Server with SHSH blobs for iOS 4.1"

I tried "RecBoot" no luck.

My Mom will kill me if I can't fix this. I am going on a 9 hour vacation ride with 7 year old brothers that get really cranky. I leave August 6th, 2011. So I need to have it fixed before then. So i really, really, really need help!

iPod touch, iOS 4.2

Try uninstalling iTunes and installing the 10.4 iTunes that came out a few days ago. Click start, run and paste "%Userprofile%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates" without quotes. Find iPod2,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw and delete it. Try restoring again and Tiny Umbrella is only for iPhones. Do not use it on iPod Touch or various errors appear. iPod Touches can downgrade at any time (idk about iOS 5). If it doesn't work, reply. :)
