iTunes will not recognize iPod

I have an iPod mini and Windows XP. Yesterday I went to sync my iPod, and the device never showed up in the iTunes source list. Windows recognizes the device, and the unit charges, so it is neither a Windows nor a connection problem. I went through basic trouble shooting, rebooting, updating both the device and the iTunes software, resetting device; nothing helped. I did not restore to factory settings, because I did not want to clear my device, and then be unable to get anything back. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.

HP, Windows XP
