Try plugging it into the box with a USB extender cable... I have a 
umass 'flash' drive that works fine on every computer I've plugged it into, 
except for the one at my office. On that machine (an XP box) it isn't 
recognized at all, unless I use an extender. It seems to be a unique problem 
between that particular device and that particular machine. Go figure...
