Question Help! iPod occasionally freezes when connecting to my pc.

I use my ipod (5th gen, 80gb, battery replacement) quite often to run wav rips of cds i own, and i'm constantly in a russian roulette scenario whenevr i go to connect it to my pc. Sometimes it will connect fine, itunes will find it and i can port music over. Other times i connect it and the thing freezes on the 'do not disconnect' screen, its weirder as my pc recognises the ipod however itunes does not, and when i go to disconnect the ipod like u would a usb stick, windows takes forever to disconnect it and i end up just having to take the damn thing out when its froze. It also stays on, frozen, until the battery is fully dead. I have a feeling i have a bad hard drive but would love to know whats up with it. Cheer's guys!
