usb 2.0 mass storage non recognized ! Please help !!

[jycedo]

So this is my computer a p4 running on an Asus p4s800-mx , I've goit Xp Sp
1, and my mass storage usb 2.0 stopped working without reason or new
software installation , I got a external Hard drive and a memory card reader
and they both stopped working, I plug them and the Usb devices are not
recognized ... The thing is that only mass storage are not recognized all
others are (camera, scanner ...).

If I uncheck the USB 2.0 option in my bios ... the mass storage are
recognized and working well ... My hard drive is working everywhere else
perfectly !

The thing is that computer is nearly new and everything was working fine
before until I've plugged a new usb HD !
I did format my disk but nothing changed :/

Please help me ! can't stand usb 1.0 anymore ..

Thanks for your ideas )))

I would disconnect all USB devices then go to Device Manager>select USB
Controllers>expand and rt click each one and choose Uninstall. If the
External HD came with Software and Drivers uninstall from Dev Manager and
Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Restart a couple of times and let XP
reinstall them. Reinstall the HD Software and Drivers.
Reconnect all the USB Devices.

I've been trying this so many times ... But I'm telling you if the usb 2.0
option is "on" the device is not recognized and it does read the good file
... it's supposed to be "usbstor.inf" for mass storage devices and it's not
working :///
I would have loved if it was that easy !!!
Still listening to your ideas !!!
