If it was totally flat when you plugged it in, it might not have been
able to start and present the disk interface to the PC. I've seen what
seems to be that behavior with my Sandisk player that I've flashed to
run rockbox. Anyway, you re-plug it now, does it do anything? It's
also possible your USB stack is goofed up a bit, try reloading
relevant modules or rebooting. If you have access to another computer
try using the player on one of them, that will suggest where the
problem lies.
