Hmm, it appears to be a proper connection issue. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers and restart the computer. Also make sure USB Debugging is checked under Settings> Developer Options.
Another thing, The older version often do not run fine with Win8, so try the following versions of Odin:
Odin3-v3.07.zip (try this first): http://d-h.st/dFb
Odin3_v3.04.zip: http://d-h.st/XaC
doesnt work
Be a little descriptive.
