Is my iPod dead?

iPod emergency: I'm supposed to provide music for a wedding in two hours, but it appears that my iPod decided to croak. I reset the bastard by holding menu and play, and now I got a slowly blinking Apple icon, suspicious hard drive clicks, and nothing more. It won't connect to windows and the updater doesn't see it. Am I fcuked?
The 'pod was dropped about a week ago, but it was working fine...until I tried to connect it to do some last-minute playlist tweaking. Worst comes to worst, I can play music from the laptop, but hey, this sucks.

Response by poster: Wohoo, I think I got it. Next and Previous together put it in Disk Mode, now the laptop sees it, and I restored the software. Cheers for me and my sister's wedding, and sorry for freaking out on AskMefi.
