    might be the bluetooth. Bluetooth comes out as a USB device.

    did you check your device drivers to make sure they are installed correctly? You need to sure all of dell's drivers.

    did you install XP SP2?

    Some of Dell's drivers/devices won't work unless you install SP2

    Try this-Right CLick on MY COMPUTER, go to Manage. On Left side you will see Disk Management. Double click on it and you should see your USB drive on the right side. It should say something like Healthy in the white section, right click in the white section and then change the drive letter. That should do it for you-
