So I install the latest iTunes on my Win7 pc.

Connect my iPod Classic to my PC for the first time.

It launches ITunes - which crashes.

I disconnect the ipod via the correct eject method and notice all my music is GONE!!!!! WTH

If I look, I see that there is 70gb of used space, so I am assuming that it is still there, but I cant see it.

What I did do is run a scan on the ipod because it gave me the error that the thing wasn't disconnected properly the previous time.
It found errors and fixed them.

I suspect this might be the issue - BUT how do I fix it.
 
Can't you format the iPod and start again?
 
I ended up having to do a low level format. Windows disk utilities (windows) uncheck quick format.

Took about 4 hours.

Did a factory restore and resynched in itunes.

Seems to be working fine.
