flash drive

[Guest]

Hi,

I hope someone can fix this one. flash drives won't showup automatic any
more, it'll detect it and ask for software to install it...of course, xp pro
comes with usb driver but it won't be able to find anything....install
failed. in device mgr, it showed up under 'other devices' with yellow ? mark
on it...I was told there is no way to fix it unless reload os. I also did
search on web by jumpdrive2 and looks like there are some drivers for it but
I don't how good they are.

help, please.
