Trouble plugging in fake ipod nano

[ti.mido]

Hello guys!
I have a fake 8GB ipod nano that I cannot properly connect to my pc.
To the new one, that is. My other laptop used to detect it as two drives, and one of the drives was unaccessable, and always asked for formatting, but the other one worked fine,.. well almost fine, but I didn't expect more from something that came so cheap , it was useable.

Now my new laptop doesn't have more than one usb drives like my older one had, and maybe that's part of the problem? Also it's not Vista, but Windows 7... but that's all for the differences.
And now when I plug it in, my laptop only sees the drive that's unaccesseable.

Do you guys have any idea how to solve this?

In the meantime I tried to do the 'remove memory hack' thing, and so far it worked until that point that I could merge the two drives into one... (haha, turned out that my 8gb was only 1.9)
And now my laptop recognises it, but after a few short seconds, without showing any signs of disconnecting it shows the player as empty, and then inaccessible...
Only Windows 7 does this, when I tried it with a netbook with XP on it, it worked all cool.

Any ideas? Please?

Ensure USB cable not damage.

It has to be all right, since as I mentioned, it works on other laptops, the only difference is that the other laptop has XP on it.
