Sorry, I don;t know anything about that.
But did you see this video? (Ignore the advertisement.)
How to Root the Samsung Epic
Does that help any?

Note to moderator.
This should have been posted in the  Android section. But it still does not exist.

In order for the PC to recognise the Samsung you need to install the latest software for it...have you done this yet ? ?
You should have gotten a CD with the phone...if not it's a Free DLoad from the manuf. site.

Drop it already about an Android section..
