Unfortunately, Microsoft Windows uses need to install special USB drivers in order to establish USB connectivity with the adb and fastboot utilities.
There are several options for doing so and I'll list them in the order in which I've heard folks indicate their success:
1. PDAnet drivers
If prompted, specify "Samsung" as your device manufacturer; you can also un-install PdaNet itself afterwards, but leave the USB drivers intalled.
2. ADB/FB Driver Naked Samsung Driver 1.7 [ADB/FB Driver] Naked Samsung Driver 1.7 - xda-developers
This driver worked very well for me on my Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) system. Here are some detailed notes that I took when I installed this driver on my system (click the "Show" button below to expand the details):
- download the Naked Samsung 1.7.zip driver referenced above
- extract that files contents to a folder like Naked Samsung 1.7
- first, put your phone into fastboot / bootloader mode by powering-down your phone and restarting it by pressing and holding the volume-up AND volume-down AND the power buttons UNTIL you see the little green Android laying on his back with door on his chest open (you'll also see "Start" in big, green text at the top and "FASTBOOT MODE" in very small red text just below the Android
- connect your phone to your Windows PC via the USB cable

- browse to that folder name and click the OK button
- you'll be returned to the Update Driver Software - Galaxy screen; click the Next button
- you might see a red-tinted Windows Security warning saying "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software";
- that's okay, click the Install this driver software anyway section
- the driver software will then be installed
- after installation, you should see the window is now titled: Update Driver Software - SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface and it will say "Windows has successfully updated your driver software", etc.
- press the Close button
- notice the the yellow warning icon is now gone and you now have a new SAMSUNG Android Phone section in the Device Manager window and a SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface entry underneath it
- you should now be able to communicate with your device with adb or fastboot (when in the appropriate mode for each)
