itunes corrupt file message

[gsb]

My ipod nano has been working fine for a good while but today when I plugged it into the USB cable, I got the following error message"

"itune.exe-corrupt file

ipod_control/iTune/iTunesPrefs is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."

In addition, I also get the Ipod Set Assistant dialog box each time I plug in the ipod as if it were the very first time plugging it in.

I tried reinstalling the itunes software cd and still get the same message and same problem.

Any ideas on how I can solve this problem. It is pretty upsetting.

See the Apple documents referred to in the FAQ that is at the top of this forum section.

I've tried the search function in the FAQ section and nothing pops up under corrupted file or itunes.exe or anything related.

Got any other suggestions?

I didn't mean the search function. I meant for you to look at the list of posts in the iPod forum and look at the first one in that list which is called "iPod FAQ"
