First, note which drive letter is usually assigned to the USB disk.

Download and install the free TweakUI utility from Microsoft.

TweakUI for Windows XP:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Open TweakUI and expand the My Computer/Autoplay item. Click Drives
and remove the check mark from the drive letter that is usually
assigned to the USB drive.

thank you very much!

Best regards,

Lukas
