MP3 player doesn't let the computer boot...

I have a partitioned drive. One drive has ME and the
other one has XP. Now I tried to connect my mp3 player
through the USB port and switched the system on. Somehow
the system gets stuck on the Intel Pentium 4 screen and
doesn't proceed further. I tried rebooting a couple of
times. Finally, I removed the USB connection and it
worked fine. I also tried connecting the MP3 player while
XP was running and the software doesn't recognize the
presence of an mp3 player. Previously I had only ME in my
system and the whole thing was pretty normal. I'd really
appreciate it if someone knows how to fix this problem.

Check for updated drivers from the vendor. If there are no XP compatible
drivers then the device is unusable as far as XP is concerned.
