    hello all!

    recently i found a weird problem on my sz680 usb ports. it can work with my wireless mouse, but does not recognize my two kingston usb drives, and a portable hard drive, which worked on the same ports before.

    any idea about this?

    Try enabling the option to view hidden or unconnected devices using this tutorial for XP or Vista, then manually delete them from the device manager (winkey+r -> devmgmt.msc) when the devices aren't attached. Reattach the devices and Windows should detect them this time.
