USB device recognition problem

Hardware & Gaming PC Builds, Modding & Overclocking

I had recently reinstalled the OS ( Win XP Pro ) on my system. When I connect a USB drive to the system, it recognizes something is connected but shows up as Unknown device. The same happened when I tried to connect my Nokia usb datacable.

Sequence of installation:

  1. Installed the OS
  2. Installed SP2 & patches
  3. Installed chipset driver
  4. Installed USB2.0 driver that came alongwith my motherboard CD.

When I first got my system, the sequence of installation was like:

  1. Installed the OS
  2. Installed chipset driver
  3. Installed USB2.0 driver
  4. Installed SP2 & patches

Back then, it could detect my friends iPod correctly. Am I doing something wrong with the installation? What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Vignesh.
