Help - Error Message - Device time out

I'm still trying to connect my ipod to my new PC but am having no joy.

I install itunes and it asks to reboot so I disconnect the ipo and reboot. I open itunes and connect the ipod.

After a fwew minutes I get the following error

iTunes: iTunes.exe - Device Timeout

The specified I/O operation on \Device\Harddisk1\DR2 was not completed before time-out period expired.

Cancel Try Again Continue.

Anyone got any ideas?

Please help.
Kind Regards

Alan
