    Well maybe in your bios you're settings for usb is 1.1 and not 2.0

    Or you installed drivers from the disk which came with the camera, however xp sp2 has the updated usb 2.0 drivers.

    I did have a similar problem with an MP3 not gaining a virtual drive, did a repair install of windows xp pro sp2, updated my system and it worked fine.

    Try the above maybe.
