USB not reading new hard drive

I have uninstalled and reinstalled USB but did not help...USB will not read
printer, camera or flash drive. I am guessing it would be a driver, wizard
or something like that. Any Ideas on how to get it reworking...Already
reinstalled everything and still did not work

Re: USB not reading new hard drive

Have you checked your
bios/cmos and enabled
the USB setting, that is
if you have that motherboard
option..

Re: USB not reading new hard drive

ok,

basically, upon the initial powerup
of the computer, you should be able
to press an fkey, like maybe f1 or f2 or
the delete key.

at which time, instead of going to
the windows system bootup, you will
go into the computer bios/cmos menu.

it's a pretty easy process but can be a bit
complicated for newbie's.

you might want to get a little more
information about accessing the cmos
settings from your pc manual or from
your pc makers website....
