Try installing the drivers?

Also did you root the device?

You shouldn't need to install drivers. Plug it in and let it try to install the windows drivers automatically. Which operating system are you using anyways? I've had some luck by trying different USB ports on the PC.

Plugging the epic into a PC is very finnicky. Sometimes I'll get an error saying it wasn't found and it's unusable. I unplug it and then try a different slot and it works. All else fails, try rebooting the phone and trying again. It will work without drivers if you just want to mount USB as mass storage to transfer files

Is it a Mac? Try enabling Debug mode.

Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
