Becca, I have a Mac rather than a PC, so I can't be sure this is the  
same. But on a Mac, before you disconnect the ipod, you MUST first  
eject it (unmount it). On my computer there is an icon to the right of  
my device name (Michael's iPod) that is a pyramid shaped object with a  
horizontal line under it. This icon is also on a button on the bottom  
right hand corner of my iTunes window. When I put my cursor over that  
icon and wait a moment, a little box appears explaining what I'm point  
to will do. When I point at this icon, it says "Eject". When I click  
on either of these eject icons, my ipod disappears from its listing  
within the iTunes window. Then I know I can disconnect it.

If you do not eject the ipod before disconnecting it, you can  
potentially corrupt the data. Perhaps its the same on the Windows  
version?
