Some feelings are that the USB drivers on the older XP machines have problems with Kobo.
Yep, I'm one of them.

My Aura HD drops off the USB bus as soon as Calibre closes the database, so automatic metadata management doesn't work at all. When I set metadata management to 'Manual' it works until I send a book, after which it drops off again. The database is OK at that point, and the new book is recognized by the Kobo, but to get it to work again I have to eject and reconnect it.

It seems to have gotten worse with firmware 2.8.1.
