Try the following:
Connect the USB drive. Do not format it!
Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
Type the following, then press Enter:

I have some external drives that will not work on XP. Work fine on Vista + PCs.

Sal21,
I have seen the prompt to format the USB drive where I have TrueCrypt encryption software installed on a USB drive.
It is possible that it is encrypted?

John
