    This can happen if the USB port you connect to is a low powered or shared port.

    On my PC , the two front USB ports are low powered , i.e. the ipod will not function properly on them , I get exactly the same situation as you describe, the ones on the back however , work fine !!

    Try that and see what happens

    Did you install the iPod software on your work PC?

    yeah he did, he says so in his opening line "i have connected my iPod to the pc in work and when i open iTunes" :D

    But even if he hadn't, the lack of itunes would only cause the ipod to appear as a removable drive, unless like in this case its being plugged into a low powered USB port.
