I am having the same problem. I have three identical compuers with
ASUS P4C800E Delux boards. All the usb were fine for about 6 months.
Now all of them have the same "drive not recognized" problem. If i
unplug the power and let the computer sit for a few hours, the problem
seems to go away for a few hours. Very disappointed!
Anyone has any ideas?
