After I disconnect my mouse from the PS2 port, my WinXP cannot detect it.

You disconnected the PS/2 mouse while the system was running - that's a
no-no.

It should be auto-detect.

After reboot only since there is no hotplug capability.

I have also tried to reboot serveral times, but it fails mostly.

PS/2 mice require IRQ12 in order to run. If this IRQ isn't reserved by
the BIOS, another IRQ will be assigned in most cases. Enter the BIOS
setup and see if there is an option to reserve IRQ12h for the PS/2
mouse.
