Problems While Syncing IPod Shuffle

I got a brand new Ipod Shuffle for my older brother as a gift . I downloaded and installed ITunes 10[Yes its required!!] and added songs but when I tried to sync the songs to the shuffle it kept giving strange errors.Like :

• "Cannot be synced. The Required disk cannot be found."
• "Cannot be synced. The Required file cannot be found."
• etc..etc..

I really felt bad for my brother , he was so exited to try it out. After doing some Googling around this is what people had suggested to do to solve the issue.

• Remove any other USB devices connected to your PC and try syncing again.
• Going to control panel and refreshing the hardware.[control panel>System>Hardware Tab> Device Manager Button>Highlight your computer name>then click Scan for hardware changes button on the toolbar at the top.]

We tried all this but nothing seemed to work. Then out of curiosity I connected the IPod to a different USB port than Wala!, like a charm it synced all the songs. :)

If you have same or similar problem do try this.
