Yah, you're right about the necessary drivers already being installed in XP. The flash drives normally detetect as a USB Mass storage device or something to that effect.

I had a system that would do that in normal mode, but in safe mode it would detect and install properly. Ended up being some problem with an application or combination of applications in their startup/services.

Otherwise it could possibly be a driver problem or, more likely, something screwy in the registry. Sometimes system restore can save your arse if the problem started recently.

You need to have these files...
%SYSTEMROOT%\USBSTOR.INF
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\usbstor.sys
