Click start control panel administrive tools ,computer management ,device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you should see a yellow question mark?
right click to reinstall drivers or
if you can see your usb drive but its not working
ports(com&lpt)right click update driver
check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red-white-green-black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems for a computer and its parts also
scroll to disk drives if you can see your drive + to expand right click you should see options to update driver,disable,uninstall scan for hardware changes. or

External hard disk

You should not need a disk to get an external hard disk initialized. Did you try to plug it into your PC and see if it detects it?

Acer Travel Mate 6000 fail to show usb in my computer or didn't detect it.

restart the computer HOLD the keys CTRL or FN +f11 or f12 depend of your mark, in another use f2 or ESC, and fix it.

I just bought the NetGear wireless adapter today. the process runs smoothly until it asks me to hook the wireless adapter. A box pops up stating "detecting wireless adapter" it stays like that...

It looks like your NetGear WNA3100 is dead out of the box.
The software looks like it operating correctly (runs the installed diag, tries to detect, etc.), but
the software isn't having any luck finding the hardware.
The reason that the adapter is disabled in Device Management, is that the software seems
to have correctly installed the driver, but Windows couldn't detect (plug & play) the device, so
Windows didn't enable the device driver - Windows won't load a driver for a non-existent device.
Other (remote) possibilities:
(a) Wi-Fi adapter plugged into a bad USB port. - try another port.
(b) there's a little corrosion on USB contacts of USB port or WNA3100. Try plugging adapter
in and out of the port a few times (this shines up the contacts a bit).
(c) there's a slight misalignment of contacts within the USB connector or either the laptop, or
the WNA3100.
Your fix may be returning the NetGear WNA3100 to the retailer for an exchange.

Hello i want to use my motorola w270 to connect to an internet over pc i have installed motorola phone tools v4.5 as well as v5.0 but both version is unable to detect my phone. So please suggest me how i...

Try to plug your phone to other USB port in your PC I will recommend to plug it at the USB port at the back of your CPU. USB supply of power at the back of the CPU is sufficient to make your device function properly so it may be able to detect by the system..mostly device can't recognize by the system because they didn't function properly specially if they are plugged in a USB port who don't have enough supply of power to make them work properly..Hope it may help you..

The hard disk worked well for 20 days..but then one day my system didnt detect the hard disk.I tried to disconnect the cable n reconnect again.but didn't work..

If your computer or laptop has a problem detecting a USBhard drive or a USB device, and another computer can detect it, then the problemcould be a RF interference problem. Try using an USB cable that is a shielded USB cable (ie. AnUSB cable that has a clear plastic covering and you can see a metallic weavewhich covers the wires) OR a USB cable that has a Ferrite core attached to theUSB cable (the ferrite core is a cylindrical object approximately 30mm long X15mm diameter and it is attached to the USB cable near the connector).

I use sierra aircard 881 wireless modem with dell latitude D6400 with xp. But the my modem not detected

You might have to go in and configure a wireless connection for the Sierra--though i didn;t have to.

I use the Sierra 881 usb connect. when i initially plugged it into my Dell Latitude, it configured itself--though there was communication software that set it all up. Google it for setup--there's newer software out form Sierra that is equivalent to the AT&T communication manager software for the 881.

My mouse Logitech Laser was working perfectly yesterday. This morning it doesn't. But the keyboard is fine. What do i do?I turned computer on off several time, i unplugged the USB that didn;t help

Remove the mouse from your computer and plug it back again and then power on your computer. If your mouse is usb then remove it and then power on your computer. Once your in the operating system enviroment, plug your usb mouse to get it detected by your computer. But if the mouse is detected and still it is not working then probably your mouse is defective. Bring it back to the store where you bought it and claim the mouse warranty. They will replace your mouse. Hope this could help you. Please don't forget to rate me..:-) Thanks..

Thermaltak keypad work in mac?

The Flare Board is also USB connected, and in fact, gets all its power from the USB bus. Since it is USB, Windows detected it as another keyboard, and there weren't any drivers to install to get it working.
The Mac (OS X 10.5), on the other hand, didn’t know what it was and asking for the key to the right of the Alt key. This is a Windows keyboard.
