always take videos with it and connect the USB, drag the films from My Computer and put them in my Videos folder. Sometimes I forget to drag them, and just leave them on the iPod and there's never been a problem.

Yesterday I took tons of videos, and some of them were really important/special. I connected the USB and they came up on the laptop on My Computer fine and I watched them. I then forgot to drag them to my Videos folder, and I just plugged in the USB again a few minutes ago and found that the videos are neither on my iPod anymore nor the laptop! They've just dissapeared. However they're all in the 'Recent Items' folder thing, but they aren't opening because Windows can't locate them. What do I do? I need those videos they were special.
