Injack pen drive in nany USB-->> right click my computer-->>properties-->>hardware-->>device manager.

Find any with ? mark in USB string.

Right click and select update driver.Let windows update the driver it self.

This should solve your problem.

Also try your pen drive in other USB pots on your system.

Solution

Before you start...make a restore point.

1)Start-->>Run-->> type regedit and press enter.

2) Windows registry page will open.Navigate to here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E980-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

3) In right pane find UpperFilters -->>right click-->> Edit-->> Delete-->>OK.

4) Navigate to here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Find LowerFilters in right pane-->>edit-->>delete

Exit registry-->> restart system-->> Done!!

Hello friends.....

I am in a real deep trouble. Recently I found that my pen drive is not being detected on my laptop. Take any pen drives, for eg - Transcend, iBall, Kingston, but its detecting my 2gb Philips GoGear MP3 Player. And yes I checked my MP3 Player on all of my USB port. Only Pen drives aren't working. They are working fine on other systems.

My Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop configuration is Intel Core 2 Duo (2.0ghz) 2gb RAM 160 gb Hard disk with Windows XP SP2.

Anti-Virus is Mcafee Enterprise edition 8.5i

I had disabled auto-play option on all my drives using Powertoys for Windows XP - Tweak UI. I tried enabling Autoplay also. But it didn't worked.

Also tried the above Registry editing option also. But failed to dind Upper and Lower filters. And also failed to create Restore point.... getting a message even after restarting system : "System Restore was unable to create a restore point. Please restart your computer and run System Restore again."

Please help me soon.
thanks in advance
