After I reinstalled windows xp(after my previous install of 4 or 5yrs got messed up beyond what i feel like fixing) I notice my usb port is not working nicely. :( Every time i connect a usb mass storage device be it ipod or flash drive it will disconnect while I am transferring files across to it. Anyone know how i can fix it? I tried re-installing, with no luck and I can't get the previous version I had installed since that was a special version I got from microsoft back then .(monthly release, I get it for free.. gotto love being a student)
 
When you installed XP originally 4 - 5 years ago, do you remember installing USB drivers from your motherboard CD? My USB also didn't function properly until I installed the USB 2.0 drivers drom the mobo CD. If you don't have your mobo CD check the manufacturers site for the latest drivers.
