Help Computer Does Not Recognize Captivate

W

I just bought a Captivate today and was all excited to fill it with my music and photos and whatnot, but then when I plugged it in I couldn't see anything in My Computer! Is there some sort of driver or client I'm supposed to install? I looked through the manual but didn't find anything that would help me.
 
To elaborate on what Harold said...

First you need to make sure that your USB on the Captivate is set to "mass storage mode".

Then, after connecting the cable, pull down the notification bar, press the line letting you know your USB is connected, then press the [Mount] button.
 
I have followed all of these steps, but there is no "USB connected" button on my gray bar. MY pc doesn't recognize it as a mass storage, through kies or any other way.

Help!
