Is it a usb card or a built in usb? If it's a card, make sure it is not
shorting out when you plug in a device. I had this problem with one usb
card I had.
 
Hi Jose' - Hope you can help me! I have Windows XP Pro SP2. I cannot get it
to recognize my floppy drive. I have tried several drives that all work in
other computers just fine. I have interchanged ribbon cables, and power
leads that are proven OK. I have uninstalled the stardard floppy drive
controller and had Windows find my hardware and reinstall the driver - still
My Computer does not show any A drive. Yet I know the computer finds it
because it reinstalls the standard floppy controller after "seeing" the
hardware is there. Any ideas how to get my computer to recognize my floppy
so I can access it. As I said I know it works just fine in other computers
running W98.
 
Download and install TweakUI from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Be careful not choosing "for Itanium".
Run TweakUI and go to "My Computer">Drives and check "A".
