VM Player USB Flash Drive Issue

Hello -

I am sure this is a novice question and will make me appear stupid.

That being said....

I am running the latest VM Player on a Windows 7 - home edition desktop computer.  There are a handful of applications that I need for grad school that refuse to behave in windows 7, so I loaded an old version of XP pro sp1 onto VM player.  I alocatted 1gb of ram, 40gb of system space and 10gb of additional space.  The issue I am having is that my VM cannot see my USB drive.  I have a USB flash drive that I need for some of classes (computer forensics is my study) and no matter what I try it cannot find it.  I have attempted to load old versions of USB drivers, I have loaded the SATA drivers from my windows 7 motherboard.

Can anyone offer some advice please.

Thanks in advance for any help...
