Re: no drivers for mass storage device

As far as unistalling the unknown USB devices, like I said, I've tried that
numerous times. I tried unassigning all network drives and that was
completely unsuccessful also. This about a bios update, would the bios be
affected by just a single type of device (usb mass storage device)? My other
usb devices work fine - scanner, cd drive, Palm hotsync (that's different
than my card reader, but the same device), my camera is recognized as a
camera but not as a disk drive. And the devices in question used to work
without updating the bios.
