Disk Write Error

hey.
i got a problem where when im trying to transfer songs from itunes to ipod it will transfer a handful and then stop with a message "Attempting to copy to the disk "ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." once disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod i can then transfer some more songs only to have the same message come up. This has happened ever since i got my ipod.

Does any one know what i should do.

Welcome. What you need to do is uncheck each song that this message appears on when transfering. Look in the window when the message comes up then go into the library and uncheck the song. Keep doing this until all songs that can transfer do. Then delete the unchecked songs after you reimport them into the iTunes library. The song that causes this message to appear is corrupt.
Once you uncheck the song right click on the iPod & select 'update'. If you miss the title of the song the iPod is having trouble transferring just select 'update' and it will try to transfer the same song again but will not & the error message will appear again.

I hope that's clear.
