XP should not require any setup, drivers, etc to use simple USB devices like
a pen drive. One windows explorer so you can see all hard drives and CD/DVd
drives lists by letter. Plug in the pen drive. In a few seconds XP should
say something about detecting new hardware, and in under 30 seconds the pn
drive should appear as a new hard disk. Test it by writing a small file to
the pen drive.

If XP detects the pen drive, but you can not write to it, perhaps the pen
drive is not formatted. Format it, just like you would a floppy, but select
FAT16 (or FAT32).

If XP detects the pen, but it does not appear in explorer, go to the disk
manager and "initialize" the disk, then format it also from the disk
manager:

I presume to understand that you are referring to a 'USB Pen-Drive', such as

I don't think the 'Device Manager' can be 'turned off' (perhaps it said
'close Device Manager')

and all other programs to setup the
install but I do not knoww how to turn the device manager
of if this is what it requires?? please could you be so
