Software problem.

Turn indexing off btw:

My Computer -> Right click on [DRIVE] -> Properties -> Uncheck indexing.

I think it likes to have files indexed so they can be found more quickly when you search for them. If you never use the search utility in explorer to search for files then just leave indexing off.

Or use a third party app that will catalouge all your files and folders without you having to run the indexing service in xp.
