Here goes:
Just put a custom install of Win7 and went to install updated drivers from me xhdd. Xhdd light came on and I could feel it spinning up. Windows said that it was inatalling driver for the device then stopped doing it and gave me the "USB device not recognized" message. I then tried other flash drives - same thing - "USB device not recognized. I tested all devices on other computers and they all work fine. I've updated all mb drivers. I've updated the BIOS. I've re-installed Win7 from a different disk. I've tried using other ports - same thing. All usb ports will operate mouse and keyboard but not the drives. Device manager shows everything ok until I plug in drive - I get the exclamation mark and I've tried updating driver from there - said I had up to date driver. I've tried resetting computer by removing cmos battery (letting in stand for 30mins before putting battery back in) - same story. I'm beginning to think that it's either a BIOS thingy or something wrong with mb - but then, windows still recognises device and tries (and fails) to load drivers for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thnx
