You can try to reinstall the drivers for your USB drives or troubleshoot.  Do this by going into your Device Manager (Start>Settings>Control Panel>System...under the Hardware Tab, choose Device Manager and select Troubleshoot).  You can also uninstall the drivers under the Drivers Tab.

Reboot your PC without the drives connected.  After boot, plug in one drive and let the system detect it and reinstall the drivers.  When finished, plug in the other USB drive and follow the same procedures.

If this doesn't work, tell us what happened and where it failed.  It would also help to know your PC and other hardware models, and any recent hardware/software changes to your system.

Not any help kennycc however I am experiencing the same problem. It started when my data drive fell out with me and froze the computer.  After a manual reboot no data device has worked. As with your own, I can still use web cam and mouse in the same ports. I'll let you know if I find a resolution to our problem and would appreciate a bell if you find out first.
Sorry I couldn't help this time but here's hoping, homercdo.

kennycc, I still don't have a solution to the problem however I'm going for an interim workaround (PCMCIA CARDBUS COMBO 2X USB 2.O + FIREWIRE IEEE 1394) from ebay. I've tried a 512mb CF card which works fine. I'll drop you a line if it works.
homercdo.
