Your Windows PC doesn’t recognize iPod. Things have been working great, so of course Murphy’s Law says things should start to fail 
My 40GB iPod Photo suddenly isn’t recognized by Windows over USB 2.0. Doesn’t work across two Windows machines but it does work with Firewire to a Macintosh.
Mysterious thing is that it used to work perfectly. I tried resetting the iPod, but have failed spectacularly to force it to do a reset. Main issue is that the reboot sequence differs between different iPods.
For older iPods, it is hold the Play/Pause and Menu but for the new firmware in the iPod Mini and 4G iPods, it is hold the Menu and the Select. Wow, what a strange difference.
Once I did that, the reset took and the recognition worked again!
