As long as the partition table is intact you should be able to remove the hard disk, attach it to another desktop mac and copy yur files to it.  You could also remove the disk and place it in a firewire enclosure and do the same.  I recommend  strongly not to back up to a windows machine, but if you do, make sure it is saved on an ntfs partition or your files will be damaged.

It should be your Hardware problem.\nIf you cannot work with single USB port, try getting a USB Hub. that may cost you around Rs.100

Looks like you need a new dvd drive.  It should play with not a problem.\n\nOh, wait.  Did your computer come with OSX?  If not, and you upgraded, then you could need either more Ram, or a faster processor.  You can replace the ram, but most macs can't have their processor upgraded.\n\nTo find out better info, go to MacOSXHints.com ( i think that's it.  it's been a while.)  They have loads of mac genius' that can help.

Check the power supply cable (the one with the 4 pins).  It sounds like it just isn't getting any power.  Even if there's something wrong with the jumper settings or the I/O interface, it should at least spin up.

If your having problems with all USB devices on your\npc then goto www.driverguide.com and search by your \nmanufacturer for the USB drivers and replace the ones\nyou have with the new ones from there. If its just one device goto the device manufacturer website and download\nand install the driver for that device there.

get one from tigerdirect.com. they have very cheap prices there. and you should have an external one if your using a mac

There's several things I can suggest. First, you're USB ports not working may be because they are disabled in your motherboard's setup. (Reached usually be pressing the Del key while your pc is booting up.) If not, have you tried uninstalling all USB drivers before installing the new ones? I have an e-machines too, and it just may be that the download doesn't contain all the files you need.

leave it plugged in and run a full system scan with Fdisk (scandisk). you should be able to pick just that flash drive, but you should check all drives. check automatically fix errors then reboot.. You've probably got a currupt driver or missing dll.

Make sure the internal connections are still there, and then reinstall the drivers.\n\nmaybe its just busted.

it should be a driver problem at your USB\nopen device manager and check the usb drivers.\nto open device manager right click on "my computer" chose "Manage" and you should see all the drivers that are running.

Assuming you are using Windows, even though you said you "went through all the driver stuff", you might want to consider booting in SAFE mode, and deleting all the instances of the USB root hub and associated devices.  This will force Windows to reload them on a reboot.  It's possible there is a device conflict that it just hasn't figured-out.  Also, you may want to check under Hardware Profiles and see if more than one profile exists for the system.  Given it's a laptop, it may have created an alternate "docked" configuration and disabled the device in that, or the default configuration. If so, delete the alternate hardware profile and let it rebuild.\n\nBe certain that the device itself isn't marked as disabled in the profile.  Given what you said in your question, it sounds like the device isn't even showing-up at all in the Device Manager? Not even as an Unknown Device?\n\nIf you insert it into the USB port and there is no audible beep to indicate that Windows knows it was inserted (or likewise if you remove it) , you likely have a hardware problem.  Even if you say for certain that the USB ports are working, it is possible that the driver and/or the hardware is failing and it's only operating as a USB 1.x device, which could make the NIC not function (especially if it is USB 2.x compliant).\n\nSince you can take the USB card to another system and say it works fine, that would appear the problem is related to your laptop.\n\nYou also might want to check the power management capabilities to ensure it is not powering down the network card and/or USB hubs to conserve power.  Even if the unit is plugged-in, if for some reason it is running a power-saving scheme, you might have this problem.\n\nif you can provide the specific version of Windows and Service Pack (or Build Number), that would be helpful.  if you are not running windows (e.g. Linux) please provide that info as well (include the distribution, release, update number and kernel from uname -a).\n\nGood Luck!

check you bios to see if the usb is enabled\n\nif it is try this - in the bios disable the usb ports \n\nthen turn off you pc \n\nthe perform a atx reset - remove all cables from the pc including the power cable - then hold in the power button for at least 30 secounds\n\nplug everything back in and then enter the bios - enable the usb again\n\ngive this a try\n\nalso try uninstalling the usb's in the device manager - restart your pc and it should pick up on the usb ports as new hardware\n\nsee if the helps\n\nalso supply us with a bit more info regarding your pc - make model etc

you probably have a hub and a couple of devices like mice and keyboards on there, remove a couple of devices and try again or buy a powered USB hub and use that.

Connect them to two USB ports or install a second parallel port. Check any computer store.

Reload and reinstall USB drivers.  If that doesn't work check settings in bios for USB.  It may be disabled.  Check in device manager for USB root hub.  If same problem most likely hardware problem.  Depending on comput is not worth it.  If this is like a throw away store bought PC.  Just pitch it.

wow...have you installed new drivers?  new hardware?\n\ndid you check the system - hardware under control panel?  is the port ok or is it x'ed out?  unknown hardware?\n\nif all the above is ok, I would delete the device and reboot and see if it reinstalls ok...
