That often means there is a hardware problem on the iPod. But it may be data corruption only. First, do a Reset (restart) on the iPod
Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support (see section iPod with a click wheel)
If it goes back to the same error screen, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
Run iTunes and connect iPod. If iTunes picks it up, it may prompt you to do a Restore, which erases the iPod, reinstalls its software, and sets it to default settings. It the cause is data corruption (and there's no hardware problem), doing a Restore should fix it.
If the iPod does not go into Disk Mode, or if the Restore fails, the cause is likely to be a hardware problem, such as a faulty hard drive.
