Hi, I'm also of the opinion that in Windows XP, drivers for UHD25-40G are not needed. Also drivers found at http://www.samsungzirex.com/index03.asp more often than not are meant for Win98/SE. However, drivers for your motherboard's USB ports are needed. To confirm USB port are ok, right click on My Computer, go to Properties, click on Hardware, open your Device Manager and check the bottom entry which should say something like Universal Serial Bus controllers. Assuming they are there, there are a couple of things you can try: 1) try plugging your UHD25-40G on the other USB ports (normally there are four, 2 at the back sometimes more and 2 somewhere in front). If this doesn't work but all your other USB devices are detected, then it may be that the UHD25-40G is defective; 2) you can try reinstalling your USB driver from the CD that came with your motherboard or download it from the manufacturer's website (maybe update also); and 3) try the UHD25-40G in another computer (also running XP) and see if it is detected. What I am curious about is what "box" are you referring to when you wrote "..when i click the box, it says no drivers are installed." Hope this be of some help and please post how things turn up as well as the model of your motherboard. Regards.

Hi again, let's see if something is really wrong with the UHD25-40G and not your pc, try it on another computer with a USB (desktop or laptop), if same outcome, let me know please. Meanwhile, I'll start figuring out how to restore the UHD25-40G. I just hope you don't have any important files in it coz it sounds like will have to wipe it clean.

The only site with anything close to a driver/software for your UHD2540G ishttp://www.samsungzirex.com/download.htm... but is currently off line (for how long no idea). I tried to find out what driver(s) they have and they have this UHD2540G.zip. You can try viewing the Google cache of that page athttp://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:_eGh...
will keep on trying. Will post soon as have something more to add.

I do need to reinstall driver for WD Ext HDD 1021 USB Device - wdbaau0010hbk-01. Where I can find it?

The USB HDD driver is built in on XP. If the drive is not recognized try the following;

If you usually plug it into the front USB, Try the rear USB
Try a flash drive in the same USB and see if it works
Plug the HDD into the USB then look in Device Manager for it, Right Click and click Update Driver then select Windows Update for the location.

Nikon Scan doesn't recognize scanner

I have the same problem (on XP, Nikon Scan 3.1.2) ... IF I turn the scanner on before the computer (or turn the scanner on and then reboot) then Nikon Scan recognizes it. Can't say I'm happy with the solution, but it works consistently for me.

Inability to recognize Kingston pendrive in windows98

Windows 98 is not capable of recornizing the mass storage devices, but windows 2000 and XP, vista has the capability to automatically recognize the USB mass storage devices.

Thats why your Windows 98 is not recognizing. So, to use the mass-storage device like your pen drive you have to install device driver to your windows 98 system for your pendrive.

If you don't have the driver, then goto pendrive manufacturer site, there you can found the driver for your pen-drive for windows 98, download it, and install on your windows 98 system..... n njoy,,... :))

Cannot get my USB memory stick to install on XP

I have a sandisk cruzer, titanium 512mb. Model: SDCZ3 512 I have used this to store massive amounts of data that I frequently need to access. Recently, when I plugged the device into my computer's USB, I received the following message: "USB Device Not Recognized" After double clicking on this message, I got the USB Root Hub. The last item on the tree stated: "Unknown Device." I double-clicked on the unknown device, and in the Device Status box, received the following message: "No Drivers installed for this device. If you are having problems with this device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter." I attempted to troubleshoot, but the device remains unrecognized. How can I access the data I have stored on this device? I have even tried to install the drivers automatically, but it would not istall succesfully.
