    USB Problem Involving Reformat

    I reformatted my computer (HP m370n) and now i go to Computer Management and i have the yellow exclamation mark next to Other Devices (including USB). It says i have no driver installed for my USB, so can anyone tell me what i can do or what i should download and where? Thx

    You need to install the appropriate drivers for the USB. You can most likely find that information on WinDrivers or on HP's support site, by using the model number of your unit.

    if it is a xp box: do you have SP1 or SP2 installed? are your USB ports 2.0 hi-speed?

    Chipset is intel 865G. Surprised that sp2 is not picking it up. Try installing the intel chipset drivers: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...6&DwnldID=7948

    Delete all usb hubs and controllers, reboot, and let windows redetect them.

    What is the error message you are getting with the yellow !
