USB device not connecting to VM

$

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect a USB stick a guest VM running Windows XP SP2. The USB stick is physically plugged into Windows 7 64-bit SP1 host machine. If I start the VM, then select the USB stick under "Removable Devices" and select "Connect (Disconnect from host)" it flashes the LED on the USB stick but eventually comes back with the message:

 

"The connection for the USB device "Silicon Motion USB DISK" was unsuccessful - Driver Error"

 

I have tried multiple USB sticks with the same result. I am using VMWare Player 5.0.2.

 

Does anybody have any ideas how I get these USB drives to connect to the guest VM?

 

Many Thanks, Paul.
