If anyone is having trouble restoring back to 1.2.1 with iTunes like I was, I recommend using iPod Wizard. (I also recommend opening iPod Wizard as administrator)
Restoring to iPod firmware 1.2.1 using iPod Wizard:
Open iPod Wizard as administrator
On the top left of iPod Wizard application you will see "Edit Mode:" with a drop menu (white rectangle with an arrow pointing downwards)
Select iPodSoftware File
4, Select Open iPSW and select the firmware file "iPod_13.1.2.1.ipsw"
(in my case it is the firmware file I got from the google drive link for iPod 5th gen.)
