Try manually putting it into restore mode first. Advice taken from a post by DerekVOF:

Easiest way (if recognized) is to simply plug it into your computer, open iTunes, and click on the Restore button on the iPod Touch's summary page.

If that won't work, you'll need to force it into restore mode -

1. Turn your iPod Touch off (hold the top button, then use the red slider to turn it off)
2. Hold down the home button (round button on the front) and keep holding it down
3. Plug in the USB cable to your iPod Touch (should already be plugged into the computer) - keep holding down the home button
4. The iPod Touch should start up - keep holding down the home button
5. After 30-60 seconds, you should see the iTunes icon and a cable connected to it. It should now be in restore mode and you can let go of the home button.
6. In iTunes you will now be able to restore...

yes, and it still does the same thing.
