OK, this is totally off-topic, but y'all are smart:
I have a Dell Dimension 8300, with XP-Pro installed. I've had it for four
years, and since day 1 it's not been able to read USB drives. Not thumb
drives, not digital cameras that are mapped as USB drives, nothing. These
are all devices that work fine on various other Windows and Linux boxes in
my house.
When I plug a thumb drive into the thing, the only indication that it's
there is that waaaay down in device manager, an "Unknown Device" shows up
in the USB tree.
Every other USB thing I've tried in the box has worked perfectly.
Anybody got any clues for me?
Thanks.
Obvious question: Have you updated all the drivers and BIOS? It
sounds like all "mass storage" devices are not working.
Best regards,
