I tested it on another windows xp machine and it works there. but when i connect it while it's off, the rockbox bootloader loads the original fw somehow... when i plugin after rb has started, i can access the disk and control a media player.
the second pc is a netbook, which has media controls on the fn keys, i can even access these with my sansa now    :D
but the problem still remains on my main machine  :(

If you can find it in Device Manager (it will presumably have the yellow (!) next to it), try deleting that entry completely, then reboot XP, then plug in again.  It could be that the incorrectly setup entry in Device Manager is preventing it having an open mind about the device.

BdN3504:
this is very strange. the system just won't install the drivers. i have looked at the system on which the driver works, and copied all files which were listed as drivers in the device manager. then i tried to manually copy them onto the machine where the drivers don't work, but i already have all these driver files in the correct places with identical file size. I'm puzzled, but it's not so bad because i can live with the usb functionality of the of, as long as i am still able to boot rockbox. i just thought that this was a bug, maybe it's just my computer.

AlexP:
Seeing as it works for everybody else and it worked on the other computer you tried, I'd say it was pretty clear that the issue is with your computer.

How new is your bootloader?  The bootloader (from prior to PP USB support) used to boot the OF when it detected a USB insertion at boot time.
