Re: USB Drive not recognized - Driving me crazy!!!

I did update the chip set drivers for my Intel motherboard, will this cover
it or will I need to download any other files ?, on another note, I tried
copying the usb files to a floppy, but I keep getting an error message that
this location does not contain any device information files, should I keep
trying, or is there something else I need to do, Bob

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 really hope someone out there can give me some substantive help with this.
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.

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!!!!!
