Won't connect usb mp3player

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Using Windows xp service pack2 for both stationary and laptop
mp3player 1: usb 1.1 archos jukebox
mp3player 2: usb2 fast - tangent audio

The first one could connect but at some point suddenly windows wouldnt
connect to it anymore. At not with my laptop either. So i thought this
must be broken.

I got a second one, but that one wouldnt connect either for both
computers, (doesnt need drivers, just standard usb drivers which comes
with win xp). I tried it with a friend and it worked fine (he has winxp
servicepack2). My usb memorystick works fine (fat32). So I'm a guessing
it must be because my win-xp can't recognize removable fat16 devices.

Can this be true and how do I fix this?.

I have tried to alter driver letters in disc management to avoid any
conflict that might be. But that didnt fix it. (this was the support
for the mp3player regarding connecting problem).
