Mini Help requested

I have a mini (4G-Blue) and it was working fine until I upgraded the software (apple iTunes told me to). It said I could restore to factory settings if something bad happened...

Well, as I'm sure you can guess, something bad did and now it says my iPod is "corrupted." I try hitting restore, and it says it has been restored to factory settings, but when I restart it in iTunes, it says I still have the most recent software and my mini is still "corrupted."

Please advise. I as so frazzled that my problem seems to be only because I listened to apple. ALL help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, christm. I did that before I posted. Did every suggestion and still get the same result. Perhaps I'll just write it off. Or, find a teenager, who I'm sure will be able to fix it.

And now, inexplicably, after doing absolutely nothing for a day, it works...

Thanks for the advice!
