Make sure your pump is mounted securely. How old is your belt? Are you sure its power steering? I had the same problem and i had to pry the pump away from the block with a 4' cheater bar and tighten it in order to make it stop squeaking.

Don't you mean squeak? Your belt is too lose.

Belt could be glazed from slipping.

Are you sure it's the belt and not the pump?
