This to would have been my next question but as usual Jim
beats me to the punch. If it doesn't work with the OEM
software I'd lean towards a bad cable. I can also send
you a small program that will test the cable for looping
back capabilities. If it fails I'd say the cable is a dud because
the cable doesn't have to be plugged in to test. This should
work in XP or Win 7. Let me know if you want it and I'll email
that to you. Also did you try the Mac yet?

To add on to this,

Try communicating with the radio using the OEM software.

If you are able to successfully communicate with radio using the oem software, but are unable to using chirp, then it could be a chirp issue.

If you are unable to communicate with your radio using oem software, then it is certainly not a chirp issue, but perhaps a cable, driver, or radio issue.

am running 2.0.2.1 for XP

If you are running this driver on XP and getting the "radio did not respond" error, then there are two possibilities. Either the programming cable is not fully plugged into the radio (the most likely cause) or the programming cable is defective (possible but not as likely).

Many users swear that their programming cable is fully plugged in but are amazed when they give it a wiggle and a firm push and notice it go in just a little further. See the "Errors and Error Messages" page on the miklor.com website.
