Tom,
Does the Plextor drive show up when in My Computer when you have it plugged into the USB 2.0 card? I have no clue why it would say that there is a duplicate device already running. what you could try doing is going into Device manager and removing the Plextor drive, and then reboot the computer and allow it to reinstall it.
To do this Right click on My Computer, Left click Properties, Left click the Hardware menu, then click the middle button that says Device manager. Find DVD/CD-Rom drives,Left click on this, you should then see your Plextor PXS-88T drive. Right click on this drive, and then left click uninstall. Once this is done, reboot the computer and see what happens.
I have no clue why yours will not work under XP Home. Mine works perfect under Windows 2000. I would say that it could be something with this new laptop, since it was all working on your old Laptop.
