Most likely bad cable. They aren't the most reliable component. I have had my iPod Nano G3 cable malfuinction, when plugged in it believes it is being disconnected/reconnected at a very fast rate.

Substitute the cable, all of them work, even iPhone ones.

Also, did XP give a 'USB Device Not Recoignised' or 'USB Device Malfunction' alert?

Check for USB driver updates.

Other than that, just search manually.
