there's no need to install anything. XP should detect it automatically.

Are you sure you are installing the correct driver? If the USB device came with a CD, there may be an updated driver at the manufacturer's website. I say this because I do not have administrative privileges at the office, but have been able to install a couple of USB items.

If you have multiple mapped drives when you login, you may need to disconnect one of the drives in order for XP to assign your device a letter.
For example, where I work, sometimes people need to dissconnect there e: drive so their flash drive will be assigned the e: drive. I know it is strange, but sometimes windows is dead set on assigning a letter that is already in use.
It should be no problem if you dissconect a mapped drive, as by group policy it is automatically mapped everytime you log in. And you don't need admin prviledges for a flash drive, most of the time. If you need software for a USB device, then yeah, you would need the rights to do so.

Despite your admin privilege, this function is probably disabled at the server level. So, I suggest you take this up with your IT department.

This is like saying: "I can't get inside a particular box. Can anyone help me?". Be more specific.
