All I can tell is that your machine runs Windows. But even that is not assured since you could be running under some emulator.

Why so few details?

reconnecting your mp3. If that doesn't work, try another port and if this fails to work restart your computer and try reconnecting again. You should also try reinstalling the drivers and software for your device. What mp3 player is it? And what are your computer specs?

Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Most have web sites where they have either FAQ sections or areas where reoccuring problems are discussed.

Try them first before you blindly go pushing buttons. You do not want to be one of those poor schmucks that post that their 1GB player has only 109 MB after they formated it.

If you are not willing to help yourself why would you expect someone else to?
