I'm running Windows Xp as my operating system. When I first plugged it into my usb port, Windows seemed to install it properly and said it was ready for use. Now the problem is that whenever I try to plug in any type of USB Mass Storage Device into my XP Home computer windows gives me a balloon saying that the device has malfunctioned. After clicking on the balloon yields a list of all used and unused USB ports with the device listed as Unrecognized. All other USB devices work fine, the WiFi card, a joystick, they all work. I've tried every port all with the same results. I had tried out each an every possible step to resolve the above issue, but unfortunately couldn't succeed. Any one knows why i'm having such problems with my USB drives? Does any body knows about it? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
