there could be some driver problem, you might also consider formatting your device if its a storage device and then try using again.
OR Else
just goto control panel
hardware and sound
device manager and select "Action" from the menu bar
then click on -scan for hardware changes
after the computer scans again click on scan for hardware changes for two to three times.
then just shutdown dont restart just shutdown and remember to keep the device to be plugged to the usb port.Never take it out.
Then start the computer again and that should do it.
I dont know whether it works on XP but it surely works in windows 7.
