USB Drives not showing up after Repair Install

[Guest]

Running XP Home SP2. Since I did a repair install, my USB drives arent
showing up in My Computer. I can see them in Disk Management and assign them
a drive letter which they arent automatically given either and view them from
there. Formatting isn't an option for me. I have already uninstalled them
from Device Manager as well.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Well I fixed it sort of by re-installing chipset drivers but now I have to
assign it a drive letter in disk management and My Computer shows it as a HD
instead of Removable Storage. Help with that please would be appreciated.
