i have just reformatted and reinstalled xp pro.
all has gone well until i tried to put my usb pen into the usb port.
it would usually provoke a pop up on my desktop saying something like "mass storage device found". however it shows no reaction when i put it in now. i have a usb cable on my printer that works fine. i have tried other usb devices that also fail to show up. i have looked in the bios while the usb pen is inserted and can see that it is recognised by the bios. if i look in my in my control panel it does not show up? the pen works in my laptop so that is not a problem. i have looked in the device manager which is showing everything is in good order. i don't think it is the drivers causing a problem as nothing works in the usb ports, except for the printer which was plugged in throughout the re-format and reinstall.
any help will be much appreciated.
