How can I charge my iPod on a computer not used to sync my music?

I keep plugging it in with the USB cord, but it doesn't charge.

The computer I usually used to sync it with got a new operating system (Mint/Linux) installed on it (usually it charges on there.)

I'm trying to charge it on my BF's computer (Windows XP) since I'm here for the week.

Is there any way to make it charge? I prefer to listen to music when walking around in college, and it would be appreciated if I knew how to fix it.

Are you using the original USB cord that came with the iPod? I had a problem similar to yours a few years ago.
If you dont use the matching cable, problems occur.
