USB hard drive and flash drives not recognized in Vista 32

In Vista 32 I had USB drives working (flash drive and external hard drive).
They are no longer recognized, and don't show up in disk management. I saw
where a fix could be to delete infcache.1 from the Windows/inf folder, but
infcache.1 is missing from there, and Windows does not regenerate it. One
place said there's a hotfix for that problem, but I couldn't download or run
the hotfix. Anyone have a suggestion for this?
