All the Drivers you need should already be in WinXP.
I have 4 USB 2.00 sockets on my PC and I run XP with SP2.
I also had an enormous and very lengthy problem getting XP to install
enhanced USB drivers for my external HDD.
If you go to Control Panel\System and click on Hardware then Drivers you
will see, near the bottom, your USB drivers listed. One at least should say
"Enhanced".
Double-click on it, and click the Driver tab, then go down and to the left
and click Driver Details.
This *should* show the following items, all from from System32 :
USBEHCI.SYS
USBHUB.SYS
USBPORT.SYS
HCCOIN.DLL
USBUI.DLL
However, for some reason the New Hardware Wizard will NOT install these
drivers without a lot of effort on your part.
I ended up copying the 3 .SYS files fromC:\Windows\System32 to a
floppy and directing the Wizard to upload those drivers from A:.
It took a while! You might have to direct the Wizard to A:\USBEHCI.SYS
many times before it eventually takes any notice of you!
That's how, after weeks of trying, firstly to discover what was needed (as
above) and then getting the Wizard to install them, that I finally got
access my external Seagate HDD.
This is a Wizard which is really obstinate and thick as two planks!
By the way, don't expect a 20 MB per second transfer rate. I get around 7
upto about 12 on a good day but don't know what is the limiting factor.
Hope it works for you,
Jim.

I have been having the same problem, I can use my usb mouse, keyboard,
printer, scanner, pen drive, freecom 80Gb external drive, camera etc with
no
problems. I have just bought a Seagate FreeAgent desktop 500GB drive, when
connected, the found new hardware wizard pops up, and asks for a driver.
It
is not listed in my computer, but is in device manager under other devices
with a yellow question mark, and the code 28, I tried the drive on an XP
Pro
machine and it worked ok. Has anyone looked at MS article 925196, not
being
that up on computers, I wonder if this would help, or mess up my other
devices, also I am not sure what bits to delete in the registry. In
registry
editor under the string
{4D36E980-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} in the right panel it lists
{default}, Class, EnumPropPages32, Icon, NoInstallClass, SilentInstall,
TroubleShooter-0
String {4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} right panel lists
{Default}, Class, Icon, Installer32, LowerFilters, NoInstallClass,
SilentInstall, TroubleShooter-0, UpperFilters
Not sure what any of this means, or which bits you are supposed to delete,
Thanks for any help you can give,
Bob

I have been fighting the same problem for over a year. What I have
learned so
far is that my Intel USB controller 82801DB will not recognize any USB2
device, I have a scanner and a printer running on USB ports but they are
USB1
devices. I have a friend with a computer simliar to mine with an Itel
82801EB
usb controller, his driver date is 2002, mine is 2001. Very obviously
the
service pack 2 that microsoft has admitted to has not been fixed.
I finally gave up and purchased a five port USB PCI card and guess what
these ports will recognive any usb 2 device but will not run at the
higher
transfer speed. I bought this pci card from TigarDirect for $15, it is a
Masscool 5-port USB 2.0 PCI card (S457-1080)
I hope this helps because we sure are not going to get help from
Microsoft.

I have just purchased a Dell 512mb Flash Drive and my system at home
will not
recognize the device. I have also had the same problem with a SanDisk
512 mb
flash drive. Both of these drives have worked fine on numerous other
computers. My system is running Windows XP Pro with SP2 loaded. The
USB Host
Controller drivers (Intel) have all been updated, uninstalled,
reinstalled,
and updated again. I have checked everything I can think of in Device
Manager. I even went into BIOS out of desperation.
That is interesting - why desparation. I would have thought you would be
on the
right track there as you below refer to another symptom, trying to boot
the
machine with the Flash Drive inserted - surely that shows you that the
boot
order is not in the correct 'order' - reset the boot order to be C:, CD
drive
and then A: - make absolutely sure that the USB is not mentioned in the
boot
order.
Borge in sunny Perth, Australia
Nothing I have tried works.
Another symptom I have noticed is that if I try to boot the machine
with the
Flash Drive inserted, the machine will not boot and tells me it cannot
find
the OS.
Please help, I've been everything from a software engineer to a
network
administrator, to a programming teacherfor 17 years and I've never had
a
computer problem that frustrated me this much. I've googled this to
death and
it seems like i see the problem posted a lot, but no useful solutions.
HELP!!!!!
