XP won't recognize MP3 player as a drive

I have a Nike MP3 and am running XP home. I plugged in
the player, but XP did not have the drivers so I put the
driver disc in. I unplugged the player without clicking
on the "safely remove hardware" button. Now, I can't use
the player. Whenever I plug it in, XP just dings and
ignores it, like it is not recognizing it as new
hardware. Nothing is installed with respect to it, as
far as I can tell. I uninstalled all drivers, etc., but
I can't get it to work. XP will not recognize it as a
drive. Help!! TIA.
