Ipod touch factory reset error, now won't respond

I was resetting my Ipod touch 2g to factory settings, selected not to back up old info, and halfway through the restore itunes gave me an error message and quit the restore. Now my Ipod is stuck on the 'connect to itunes' screen, which it will not leave, and is not recognized by itunes nor My computer. I've tried restarting itunes, my computer, and numerous other things, all unresponsive. Can anyone help? I run the newest version of itunes on Windows 7.

Without knowing what the error message said all I can suggest is:

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
