I sense that this may all have come about because of the changes I've made both in replacing Vista with XP and in changing the settings in XP in order that Hoster will run to it's fullest potential.
I want to thank you guys for your efforts but I'm going to have to rely in your knowledge and experience further.

It sounds as if the device driver for the drive is not loaded. My recommendation is to go to the mfr's website and reload the driver with one from the vendor. XP will have a tendency to not load a driver if it is not certified.
