Double click "safely remove hardware" (outlined in red here):

Select and "stop" the iPod USB device:

If you can't find something with "iPod" in it, stop the "USB mass storage device". The problem should now be fixed. In the future, *always* use the Safely Remove Hardware wizard before you remove *any* USB or firewire device. Not doing this sometimes leads to serious problems.

If this doesn't work, go to start, then run. Type:

devmgmt.msc

and press ok. Look for something with iPod in the name under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" or "Storage Volumes". Right click and "uninstall", click "yes" to any dialogs you get. Please tell me in the feedback if you had to use this method, and ask me another question if this didn't work.

Good luck!
