Check the file format of your device. If its NTFS then you'll need to format it to an apple compatible version say FAT32

Hmm well you said it was recently updated. What devices are you trying to connect. USB drives or other USB connected storage devices? Are these devices detected by your PC? You may need to try updating drivers.[/quotemsg]

What do you mean you haven't been able to? What happens when you attempt to do so? Do you get an error message, and if so, what does it say? Or does absolutely nothing happen?
