I am using a Dell laptop with Windows XP Pro updated with all latest Windows Updates. I never had any problem with this computer but since last 2 days it is not recognizing any of external devices like Pen Driver, camcorder, external HDD 3G modem or anything. Whenever I connect anything it pop ups a message in System Tray saying “USB Mass Storage” but just after few seconds, I get the following error pop up:
“Cannot Install Hardware.
An error occurred during the installation of this device. The Data is invalid.“
Apart from this one more strange thing happened on this system is when I went to device manager I can see a device listed under Other options. It seems to be not installed. Hence I thought I should remove the same but when I try to remove it locks up my Entire system and the only way to make it normal is by hard reboot.
I have no idea what is going on. Hope someone from here can help me out. Thank you.
