Indexing is different to syncing and I don't think Windows Indexing service indexes removeable media. You can check by plugging the device in, right click and open Properties in Windows Explorer and see if the General tab has a checkbox "Index this drive...". If it has clear it.
If it is Media Player then it is trying so sychronise the device because it thinks it is a media device. Not all USB devices are recognised as such and I don't know what it is looking for. I have three identical 2 GB USB sticks but Media Player only shows one particular one in the sync menu, it ignores the others. Plug the device in, open Media Player, click the Sync button at top right and select your removeable device. Click Setup sync and at the top left of the Device Setup windows there is a checkbox "Sync this device automatically". Clear this box and click Finish. With a bit of luck it will now ignore it - if not I don't what else to do!
