What is displayed on the iPod's screen when you do this?  Do you see a screen that looks like this:



If not, then you are not doing it right.  Follow the directions here:

Try using the ports on the back of your PC instead of the ones on the front. Also, try a different cable or a different computer.

You tried to do what?  LambdaCalculus made three separate suggestions:

1.  Try a different USB port.
2.  Try a different cable.
3.  Try a different computer.

Which of these have you tried?

It is also worth trying to reboot your computer.

Try the following and describe exactly what happens:

1.  Reset the iPod so that it is no longer in disk mode by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously until the iPod restarts.

2.  Turn the iPod off by pressing and holding the Play/Pause button until it shuts down.

3.  Turn the Hold switch to the on position.

4.  Plug in the USB cable.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand your last response.  Could you please describe EXACTLY what happens at EACH STEP of the instructions I gave you?

You might also try a different PC. I once had the USB driver of my PC messed up so no devices would connect.

It's worth making absolutely sure on these items.  I have had a bit of trouble caused by bad cables/bad ports.  Hopefully one of these will allow your iPod to mount properly.
