    well i reformatted last night and there was this one partition that was like 49 mb so i deleted it since i didnt think anything of it. for some reason now i cant update my drivers for usb 2.0 (for some reason it cant fine a file names usbehci.sys)and i have some pci device and usb device that cant install. also i was able to change my hz setting to 75 before but now its only at 60 and no higher. if anyone can help me i would be so freakin' thankful for you and your information. i think i can fix it since people who build ocmputers themselves can update these drivers so if i did delete anything on that small partition i should be able to find it somewhere and fix it. please help me!!!

    Problem? meaning that it has a yellow question mark beside the device?

    Try reinstalling your communications driver and see if that helps.

    try running the intel mobile chipset and dell notebook system software again.

    i had a problem with my usb one time but did the above and it fixed it.

    I reinstalled the intel mobile chipset on a 6000 and that fixed the same problem.

    get your drivers at dell support, that 49 mb partition on your disk was your drivers
