You could try placing the iPod into recovery mode and restoring the software through iTunes, you will unfortunately loose anything on the iPod that hasn't been synced.
- Make sure your iPod is turned on and connected to your computer.
- Press and hold the menu and select buttons for between 10 and 15 seconds (The iPod starts to reboot after about 5 seconds, keep holding the buttons until it seems to turn off completely)
- The display of your iPod should now stay black, and a new USB device called "USB DFU Device" should connect to your PC.
you will then be able to restore your iPods firmware and it should work if not you are likely looking at a new hard disk.
