Post by: suman_kumar on September 08, 2008, 05:57:24 AM

Hello friends

 Recently i formatted my system and reinstalled windows xp professional sp 2 and all the necessary drivers including USB2.0. But this time when i insert pen drive ,the system is not recognizing it. It showing a message that "new hardware found......".I follwed there mentioned instructions and uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. But the problem remains as it is and it still showing the yello color dot infront of "usb mass storage device" in device manager dialog box.

Please help me in this reagard :)

Does this drive work in another Computer?

Also, if you go to Device Manager, are there any Yellow Exclamation Marks or Question Marks?

Did you re-install the motherboard chipset drivers ? ?
These are often forgotten because the machine will run...but not well.

I strongly suggest you try to see if it works on another computer.

This way we can tell if it is a problem with your computer or a problem with the USB Drive.
