The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

USB Flash Disk Device Unrecognized

Asked by jamie_bennett in Microsoft Hardware, Miscellaneous Hardware, Computer Hard Drives

Tags: Microsoft Windows XP USB Drivers Flash Disk

Hi experts, hope you can solve this one for me.I have a PC running Win XP Sp3 that has suddenly stopped being able to recognise USB flash disks and HDDs.I've checked the USB ports, and keyboards etc seem to work fine. The USB flash disk in question in recognised in another PC without any errors (Even ran scandisk on it to check it wasn't faulty) . I've used the flash disk on this PC before and no problems (It contains backup info, which frustratinly makes me unable to restore the PC to a previous working state easily). I've tried to use sytem rerstore but t no avail, and deleted all the USB devices in the hardware manager Although none of them pertained to the USB drive in question. I've tried the USB Drive in another port as well, but same error. Any thoughts?
