Ok I have managed to get it out of Disk mode and remembered that it actually came with a firewire cable when I bought it back in 2005. I found a firewire cable (not the original, but one I used to use)............. and I still have the same problem!!
The iPod appears in iTunes (on the left) it shows all of the contents but I can't delete anything or add anything. It did try to sync but said that the iPod need more space. I didn't actually want to sync it with my iTunes entirely just the music and there is enough space for that.
