WINDOWS XP DOESN'T RECOGNISE USB FOR IPOD NANO 2GB

HELP!

We recently bought 2 i pod nanos in Florida, returned to the UK where we set about connecting them to our pc - pc doesn't even recognise the USB cable, but does recognise a friend's nano which we have tried. We didn't get a cd with the ipods, can someone please give us some advice? apple support website useless.

Thanks in advance

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.

Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
