iPod Nano 3rd Gen Restore Loop

Hi Guys, my friend has given me her iPod Nano 3rd gen to me to see if I could get it out of it restore loop and I am having no luck at all. I have done a few searches and tried the suggestions like in Windows changing the drive letter with no luck and restoring from Disk Mode again with no luck. When I try from Disk Mode I can get it to allow me to name the iPod and even sync songs to it but when I eject and then restart it says it has to be restored again. Now I have tried this on her Windows 7 laptop, my own and my own Mac and seem to be getting no where, any suggestions?
