How do you uninstall/reinstall usb hubs though?
I have been using Vista for more then 2 years now and I hadn't seen this problem until a couple of weeks ago. I "right" clicked on "safely remove hardware" in the task amnager and the window opened with "mass storage device" highlighted and I picked
" stop" and then checked my drives and they were all gone. I then rebooted and they were back and my usb flash drive began working, I hope this easy fix works as well for you.
