USB device not found?

First, check that the device doesn't show up if you put the flash drive in another USB port. If it doesn't, check your 'eject hardware' icon to see if the flash drive is showing there. If it isn't, it sounds as though the drivers and software for your USB are out of date or have been corrupted in some way. This can sometimes happen when you install Windows updates or software that conflicts (upon installation) with your hardware drivers. Check to see if there are up to date drivers for your flash drive on the manufacturer's website. If not, you will need to uninstall the software and reinstall the flash drive again using the original installation disc. \n\nBefore doing this, check Device Manager to see if it is flagging up any conflicts. If everything is okay, remove the flash drive from your USB port. Check your 'add/remove programs' list in Control Panel to see if the software for your flash drive is showing up. If it is, uninstall it. Reboot your computer. Then re-attach your flash drive to your USB port. With a bit of luck, the hardware installation wizard should recognise it as new hardware and open. If it does this, re-install the drivers for your flash drive and you should be away.\n\nIf it doesn't, you may need to do a manual install, although this reduces the chances of the flash drive working.

If you can see the contents of the drive on another pc, then it might be necessary to reinitialize the usbhub attibute on your pc.  Go to my computer, right click and choose manage.  bring up the the device manager, and delete the usb hub. then have the computer re-review the pc components.  this should bring the hub back up with the right drivers.  then put the stick in and see what happens

Unplug any or all of the USB devices and restart.  See if that helps.

try deleating the usb hub in your System config file.\nThen reboot the computer. \nWhen the computer comes back up it will reload drivers for the port. and you may be able to use it.

Maybe the USB device is wonky. Or maybe you should try all the USB ports in your computer.

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.

Your best bet is to go to http://www.driverguide.com and look for a new printer driver.  They are broken down by model and OS.  Be sure to pick the highest rated one you can find.  Also you should check the description to see if it says USB or not.  Hope this helps

The USB device may have suffered a power surge while the device is connected. It can happen if you incorrectly wire front USB ports to the motherboard. Try it on a different machine (I'm guessing you have), and see if it is listed in the device manager.

Yeah, gonna need new hardware. If you gotta ask that question, it's usually time for a new computer. Doesn't have to be the newest or the most expesive. In rare cases when usb 2.o came out, some manufacturers sold computers with controller hardware capable of using usb 2.0 but released the computers with 1.0. You should check the pc on the manufacturers site and see if any such update is available.

what do you mean by usb hardware? if you mean the integrated usb, it's a part of your motherboard. you could try a usb add in card from any on line vendor such as tigerdirect, new egg....

If you are on an older computer, it may need the driver for the device.  On newer machine, you do not need it.  Also, if you locked your data with a password using a utility that came with the USB drive it may be asking for that.

You should download Service pack 1 ...as it contains the drivers for running Usb Devices but Services pack 2 has the new revised bugfree drivers for USB

It comes with a software.Otherwise go to device manager,and see if the device is listed and working properly.If it is not working properly,you will need drivers for it,which will be in the software CD of this device.Device manager comes in control panel.\n  If you have no CD,the device is listed in device manager and not working properly,then there will me at least the name of the device in device manager.Then serach for-Driver for <device name> \nin google.Surely you will find it.Download it and install it,then it should work.There are many excellent sites like\nhttp://www.driverguide.com\n which have a huge database of drivers. \n  Hope it works.Best of luck.
