Your problem seems to be the lack of MTP support in XP. Installing windows media player 10 on XP should solve that.

Google "mtp driver xp"
Only the Fire HD is an MTP device; the older Kindles are not, and his is one of those. So the lack of MTP support in Calibre on XP can't be the problem.

It does look like even Windows has a problem seeing it. To the OP: does your Kindle get a drive letter under Windows, and if so, does it actually work as a drive?

I'm betting the answer to either question is 'no'.

Try rebooting the Kindle, and if that doesn't fix it, a factory reset.
