On the computer that it's not working on, try to plug it into another USB port on the PC. If that doesn't work I would try uninstalling all the drivers that are associated with your device. If that doesn't work go to your mp3 player's website and download the latest drivers from them. Last resort, Google.

You might need to install a driver for the MP3 player on the computer it does not detect it on. Also, try another USB port...one might be bad. Make sure you have the USB drivers installed on the computer too.

To install USB 2.0 controller drivers
Before completing this procedure, determine if the USB 2.0 controller drivers you have on your computer are installed. To determine this, do the following:
Open Computer Management.
In the console tree, click Device Manager.
Where?
Computer Management
System Tools
Device Manager
On the View menu, click Devices by type.
In the details pane, click the plus sign to the left of Universal Serial Bus controllers.
If the word "Enhanced" is included in any of the listed controllers, your computer has USB 2.0 controller drivers installed.
If you cannot find the word "Enhanced" in any of the listed controllers, perform the following procedure:
Stop using any USB devices (such as a printer or Web cam) except the mouse and keyboard.
In the details pane, click the plus sign to the left of Other devices. Then, under Other devices right-click Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller, and then click Update Driver.
Follow the steps in the Hardware Update Wizard to complete the procedure. When you are finished, you might be prompted to restart your computer.
Notes
To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
If Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller is not listed under Other devices, you cannot install a USB 2.0 driver. To find out more about installing these drivers, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

I think the usb plugs in the system unit is loose or unattached. Check the plugs.

Do you have just one USB port?
