Well I don't believe that xp pro supports the hot plug feature,this is not a server nos. might have better luck with 2000 server. some servers need to have the slots enabled in bios, also are you using the tabs and locking mechanism in place right? adpter in, tab down, rotate lock till it clicks. And check the pci power light comes on, if it doesn't most likely it's a combination of bios,tabs, and os. Or if you were running xp, and tried hotplugging an adapter that is not certified for hot plug, and since the os has no way to power down the slot, you could have fried the I/O board trying to hot plug.
