I am tiring to retrieve deleted data on my ipod touch. I am using Recover4all recovery software, however my ipod is not detected as a hard drive. Therefore I would like to know if their is a way to view my ipod as a hard drive

No, there isn't. Are the files still on your iPod touch or did you "delete" them through iTunes? You can use a series of other applications to copy your songs, videos, podcsts, etc. off of your iPod touch if they aren't "deleted." Otherwise, you won't be able to recover the data.
Edit: I just wanted to say that there used to be JailBrake applications that allowed access to the iPod touch as an external drive but I don't know if they work on the newer hardware/software.
Even then you will have issues trying to full recover any deleted data. Expensive applications run into issues. I worked for the U.S. government for a while and we had a couple of data recovery apps. One of them set us back by about $10,000. Just for kicks, I deleted the files off of my iPod to see if it could recover them. All-in-all, it was able to get back about 20% of the missing information. Other agencies pay up to $15,000 just to get full 2MB of data recovered.
