    Yes. Suggest you give us a few more clues. ie what OS? What sort of USB drive? - a pen drive? a USB hard drive? a USB CD writer? :)

    Device might not meet standard USB specs that XP assumes. See if you can find a driver on the USB maker's web site.

    this might sound abit stupid .. but
    i also have a usb that wouldnt recongnize, using Xp pro sp2..
    my usb is a hdd .. and it just gets solved when i push the usb plug faster into the hdd ..
    try to insert the usb plug faster, tell me if it works, we might find a whole new way of solving hi-tech probloms =-P

    another method:
    1. just reboot the computer with the usb plugged
    if it will recognize it like that, then the problom is "the speed of inserting " =-|

    its not the USB because i have an optical mouse pulled into the USB already and it works and ive already tried rebooting the computer with it in and no such luck
