Try:

Removing drive from device manager and letting windows re-detect it

Cleaning Drive with one of those cleaning thingies you can buy

Removing drive from case, throwing it away and replacing it with a
shiny new one (which are so cheap now they are practically free)
 
Throwing away a working drive is not the answer. The
problem is in XP somewhere. The answer has yet to be
handled by MS or anyone else thus far. I have seen this
problem on 3 machines so far. I have moved these
dysfunctional drives to other machines and they work
fine. I suspect it is some software conflict or unknown
malware. I have crawled all over MS's site and tried a
number of things with no luck. A wipe and re-install will
work but is a lousy answer.
