My laptop's harddrive crashed recently and I'm trying to copy all my music from iPod back into iTunes. Initially I tried using iCopyBot for Windows as I've done in the past, but for some reason it was getting stuck on a lot of files. Now I've tried manually copying all my music from the iPod_Control folder into iTunes, and kept getting errors on the same files. Now I've found that I can open the files from Windows Explorer either into iTunes or Windows Media Player and they play fine, but as soon as I try do anything that involves copying the files (even from one folder to another on the iPod), whatever media programme I'm attempting to use freezes (or alt. Windows Explorer). This is only happen with certain files, and the same files everytime. I've tried turning off my antivirus as some sites suggested but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
 
What happened to your laptop HD? It might be possible to recover the data.

Try using a linux livecd to access the ipod & your old hdd.
