UBB Hard drive and Flash Drive

I have Vista Ultimate, when I connect a usb hard drive or flash drive to the
pc windows cant find the drivers for them.

But if I connect the same drives to a Vista Home Premium PC, that pc can
install the drivers for them.

Any ideas what is happening here?

Thanks

Re: UBB Hard drive and Flash Drive

This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB devices:

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
your account full control.

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
desktop.

REBOOT
