fully charged battery?
USB hub capable of sustaining the current required to charge the device?
I ask because when I was preparing to put data on a 4GB one using a Dell 
windows computer the other day it did something similar ... then I realized 
(found that the optical mouse also on that hub did not work anymore) that the 
current draw had burned out the power in the hub (in Dell monitor hub).
So I suggest first charging it (with a non computer USB charger) or using a 
very powerful USB hub.
