ipod touch stuck on recovery, error (1)

Hello everyone. I decided to restore my perfectly working iPod Touch with the latest version of iTunes (11.1) on the latest version of Windows (8.1), but I keep on seeing the error "it's impossible to restore iPod "iPod". An unknown error happened (1)." Now, I've read that the "error (1)" is a hardware error, but my iPod was working until the restoring. Now it keeps on showing the apple and if I connect it again to the pc iTunes tells me to restore it, and so on.

What can I do? I used it a lot without any problem and now that i tried to restore it it seems to be...broken? How on Earth?

Thanks in advance
