Answer 1

Have you installed drivers for the phone? http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

It appears that the the sdk does not "install" the USB drivers. You can select that usb drivers in the sdk to see the file location, open that up, and right click to install the driver yourself.

• File -> Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Google USB Driver -> Right click -> Install
  • Ensure that Google USB driver is checked.

If above doesn't work, @Abir Hasan appears to have another method in answers below.
