you probably have a faulty usb cable, i suggest borrowing one from a friend and trying it, to make sure, if it still dont work, try connecting something else to you pc usb port make sure u dont have a bad usb port, so start with that. Good Luck.

Here is a list of what you can do on when your ipod is not detected: http://www.copytrans.net/helpcopytrans.php#22
well try setting the ipod to recovery mode and see if itunes see it that way, you hold the menu+center button until the ipod powers off, imediately release menu and hold play+center button until a check shows on your ipod screen, your ipod is now on recovery mode, connect it to itunes, and see if itunes see it, if it does, then just restore it. Good luck.
try connecting it to another pc to see what happens. Sometimes there are some detection problems depending on the Windows you have installed on your computer.
